How did the Earth Begin?
If God created Adam and Eve, then who created God? Where did God come from since there was nothing on earth?” Answer: Over the centuries, many famous scientists and theologians (people who study God) have asked themselves the same questions you are asking. These things are hard for us to understand, and no one, not even the greatest saints and scholars, will grasp them fully in this life. Many astronomers support the idea that the earth, and in fact the whole universe, came about as the result of a huge explosion that took place about 13 billion years ago. This is often referred to as the ‘Big Bang’ theory. The Catholic Church is very interested in such ideas, and even has its own group of about 70 well-known scientists who meet from time to time with the Pope to discuss new discoveries in astronomy, medicine, physics, biology and so on. A few years ago, for example, Pope John Paul II addressed this group of scientists on the topic of the evolution of life, the theory that all living t
Most of the other answers have confused the Big Bang with the beginning of the solar system. In fact the Big Bang occurred over 14 billion years ago, whereas the solar system is “only” about 4.6 billion years old. To briefly answer your actual question about how the Earth began, scientists believe that the substance of which our solar system is composed is made up of elements left over from earlier stars, which formed early on in the universe’s history. These stars burned up their hydrogen fuel quickly, converting some to helium and other heavier elements, then exploded. Over more billions of years, the elements left over formed new stars, including our own sun. These attracted a layer of dust in the form of an accretion disk, which subsequently settled into planets. This is why the late great Carl Sagan said we are all composed of star-stuff. I have to say though that I don’t understand why you say that God couldn’t have made it because it is so organised.
according to me, the big bang created all the planets in our solar system. And if u want to know how LIFE on earth began, it puzzles me too, but i think it was like this: Some DNA molecule was formed due to the presence of various elements, which slowly developed into some reeeeeally low from of life ( like the virus ), and could reproduce asexually.
