That depends on where the water was initially. If you put half the water in
the oceans into suspension in the atmosphere, there is plenty.

I don't think the atmosphere can hold that much water...

Water molecules weigh 18 amu, which is significantly lighter than the two
most common molecules in the atmosphere, N2 at 28 amu and O2 at 32 amu. In
an unstirred atmosphere with no particulate content, ALL the water would be
above the O2 and N2. Now what exactly makes you thing the atmosphere can't
hold that much water?

...Which begs the question of why it all rained out all at once that one
time...

Possibly the sudden introduction of particulate matter around which water
molecules could condense. This could be from one or more super-volcanoes or
asteroid impacts.

...and how long it took to evaporate again ... and why it doesn't go on
evaporating...

Obviously it didn't evaporate again. It's all in the oceans now, remember.

...In short, that hypothesis is nonsense.

In shorter, wrong. Try again.
