was earth created by the big bang theory???

Answer 1

No. The Big Bang Theory is meant to describe the creation of the Universe (and is no longer the actual current going theory on the creation of the Universe... a variant of it known as Membrane theory is... see tcope's explanation below for the very basics of it).

The Solar System, and the Earth, were not created until some time later.

The mechanisms which led to their creation are described separately from the Big Bang Theory.

Answer 2

The Earth was created after the big bang. Read the other answers; I won't waste any space (why try to top someone if they've already said it just fine??)

However, I'd like to make known a more recent theory about the Big Bang Theory...

Scientists who believe in the existence of other universes now think that the actual "bang" of the beginning of our universe was created from the uneven (not flat) edges of two other universes colliding. The idea is that, given our universe is expanding, these other universes were also expanding, and their collision created a new universe, perhaps even taking in an amount of the materials of these universes inside of it, giving our universe the "building blocks" it needed to form stars/planets/nebulas and the like.

If you think that's interesting, do yourself the favor and research it :-)

Answer 3

Well, it wasn't created by the theory itself. The theory is just a product of mankind.
This all comes down to what you believe in. If you look solely at the scientific evidence that exists (cosmic background radiation, dark matter, the constantly expanding universe) then you have to conclude that yes, all matter was indeed compressed into one single point about 15 billion years in the past.
However, the question still remains of where did it all come from and that is where the creation argument comes into play.
Personally, the more I study, the more I believe in some hybrid between the two theories. I have to consider the facts that point to a big bang in the past. But when I see the order and beauty of the universe itself and the creatures on this Earth, I am convinced of a higher power.

Answer 4

The universe may have been created in a Big Bang, and given that the earth is part of the universe, it's raw materials were produced at the same time. However, the earth as a planet was not created in whole during the Big Bang. Instead, the earth coalesced from the dust that collected to form the sun.

Answer 5

First of all, the earth was not created by a theory. The Big Bang theory is the leading theory for creation of the entire universe, which was around for billions of years before the earth formed.

Answer 6

No. Well, not directly. The big bang theory states that the universe came into existance in a, well, big bang. Billions of years later, the Sun and it's surrounding planets (including the Earth) were formed.

Answer 7

The important thing here is that it needed many billion years beyond the big bang for giant stars to create the heavy elements, like carbon, iron and gold. Early in the history of the universe there was only hydrogen, the most basic of elements.

Heavy elements are created in the centers of oversize stars. These elements are then spread across space when the heavy stars finally go supernova at the end of their lives.

So, Earth and its mixture of 90 odd elements could not have been formed in the early universe. It took a lot of exploding stars to spread their elements around, to finally coallesce into the sun and its family.

In this respect, the song "you are a child of the universe" is totally correct. Your body is star stuff.

Whether there is God behind it all is another question. I reserve my judgement.

Answer 8

A theory doesn't create something. Nature does.

If you are asking whether the development of earth is one result of the Big bang, then yes it was.

The Big Bang is accepted science. It's not like evolution where there is a huge controversy over it's validity.

Answer 9

No. Earth was created by a pocket of gravity which pulled in a lot of matter to form the planet, long long after the big bang occurred.

OR

Yes. All matter was together in the... uh ticking time bomb.. and the big bang released it and that allowed the earth to form.

Answer 10

No one knows for sure, but the Big Bang theory seems much more probable than Creationism.
