O.O

I realized something a while ago, and it's puzzled me ever since. Here's my realization:


Water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
Hydrogen is incredibly flammable.
Fire needs oxygen in order to burn.

So why in the world do these atoms, when combined correctly, make a substance that is more or less impervious to flame?! Water isn't flammable, yet it's made of a combination of atoms that logically would form an insanely flammable substance.

That confuses me. O.O
