Gen 1 water question

[Ite_ad_Ioseph]

In the first chapter of Genesis, after each day of creation, God describes how good each was- except water. Now water is important in Catholic teaching (Baptism), so what is the deal?
I ask the question because I remember reading a Jewish explanation that water was not described as good because Moses suffered through water, by being put in the river (Nile?), so the description was left out. Since Moses is often considered to have written the Torah, he might have had a grudge against water, and left the good description out. So another question: where did Moses have the time to write the Torah? (Keep in mind Joshua was said to have finished the last part about Moses’s death).

God saw that it was all very good, including water. I personally love water particularly.

Unrelated question, maybe someone can answer it after the first.
There are legends Jesus went into India on a sort of spiritual pilgrimage there during his ‘‘missing years’’ They have icons of Jesus and Mary in the mountains and a whole documentary was aired on the Discovery or Nat Geo channel about it. Anyone know anything?

Genesis

10
God called the dry land “the earth,” and the basin of the water he called “the sea.” God saw how good it was.

About Jesus in India. Don’t put any stock in that, some archeologist was in India in the nineteenth century when he read about this guy who reminded him of Jesus, and had a name that was kind of similar. He concluded that it must have been Jesus, but no legitimate historians, archeologists, or theologians came to the same conclusion that this guy did. No one but him thinks that during the impoverished Jesus’ missing years he somehow came thousands of miles to India, and came back to Israel(a costly trip), and that none of it was ever recorded by the jews or other early Christians. As for early Christian influences in India, look no further than Saint Thomas, who after the public ministry of Jesus, became a missionary to people as far as India.

It is a myth which is a fancy word for a lie.

There are two parts of the legend. First is that Jesus went wandering into India during the missing years between His presentation in the temple and the beginning of His public ministry. Tradition does not hold this to be true, but it is not considered impossible.

The second, and completely blasphemous, part is that Jesus survived the Cross and then He and His mother went to India to live and later die. This particular part was brought about by a particularly deluded Anthropologist and the idea has been latched onto by pagans as “proof” of Jesus neither dying nor being resurrected. This the stuff of Error, Heresy and Death.

We were warned that many would come claiming to be from God but would be tools of the devil and so it has been.

As to water,
Gen 1:9-10 ‘And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.’
