Evolutionists, atheists and Christians, where does the original material of earth come from?

Question

Please be kind enough to show the simplified levels of evolution or should I say "Evolution of earth".

something like: when you explain the manufacture process of a fizzy drink:

1.Carbonated water come from water
2.Water come from Hydrogen and Oxygen...
3.Hydrogen comes from whatever and Oxygen comes from(hypothetically speaking)
4.... until you reach the last material.

Can you do it with earth incuding animals, trees and man until you reach the last ORIGINAL material

TO ALL THOSE GAVE SCIENTIFIC explanations of formation of everything:

Some of you don't reach the last material...

The big bang theory people:

Come on guys, we all know that energy cannot be formed but can only be recreated or reshaped.The "big bang" must have taken ENERGY to happen...where does that ENERGY COME FROM??

Answer 1

The answer is "we don't know". There are a lot of funded theories, still not a final word in the topic, though.

Our knowledge of the universe is really way closer to "nothing" than to "everything". We still have a lot to learn.

The right direction will always be to admit our ignorance and our will to find the answers.

Answer 2

big bang ! Energy and matter (interchangeable in some fusion/fission applications) various gravitational fields pull matter together and form planets, stars, moons, comets etc.... Then, as our planet settles into an orbit around our sun , along with the other planets, some cosmic dust and radiation interact with the matter on earth and start to form the basic stuff of life like acids, bases, water, simple proteins. blah blah blah, I'm sure you've heard all this before, and your question probably is looking for an answer of "what was before the big bang?" Therefore, an attempt to say, "see, that's where you can find proof of god, something had to make the energy or matter that proceeded the big bang". But, no, just because we don't have all the answers, doesn't mean you can use "god" to fill in the blanks. That makes us atheists angry, because it's lazy. It is the equivalent to a parent answering their child with "because I said so" when the real reason is not so simple, and what the child is really looking for. And, just as in those cases, the lazy answer is not the truth.

Answer 3

There's a book called "The First Three Minutes" and it goes into great detail about the formation of all the matter in the universe second by second after the big bang.

Basically, it all happened at a subatomic level, starting with hydrogen, but the density and temperature at the time, there were a lot of collisions that led to other elements.

More complicated and heavier elements were not created until stars were formed and fusion reactions began.

Anyone who doubts the big bang should read this book, it answers every question you could ever have.

Answer 4

The Earth as it is today, including all organic and non-organic material, was formed from the condensation of interstellar dust existing during the formation of the Milky Way galaxy. This material was created in stars that fused hydrogen into more and more heavier elements as is the case with all stars including our own sun. These stars, however, exploded and distributed the heavy elements throughout the galaxy.

The elements from which all things are made are called atoms. These are made up of smaller particle/waves of mass/energy we call neutrons, protons, and electrons. These, in turn, are made up of even more basic material which are best described by quantum physics.

The latest theories provide promising descriptions of how matter came into being as a result of the big bang and where the material making up this universe came from (i.e. before the big bang)

Do we have solid proof yet? Of course not. Are we close? Only God knows. I thank God that He provided us with the intelligence and curiosity to continue the examination of this wonderful universe He created, don't you?

What I fail to understand is why fundamentalist Christians feel as though it is not man's place, or within his ability, to discover the beautiful truth about His creation when we were created in His image.

Answer 5

I find it odd that a Creationist would ask a scientific question. but let me answer your question in this way. Science is based upon examination, research, evaluation and review. Earth or physical sciences have explained a great many things including the formation of rock, why the sky is blue and the process for adding CO2 to H2O. So the big bang theory of rapidly expanding gases and extreme temperatures resulting in a seminal explosion, expelling an uncountable number of materials outward in all directions, eventually leading to the formation os celestial bodies and gases, does a fairly decent job of explaining the universe's origins. But you'd like to know whence comes the gases. We know that as much as you know the answer of when comes God.

What you fail to realize is that science and faith are not diametrically opposed, save when fundamentalists simply answer everything with God, instead of using the brains and reasoning ability he gave us. Even the man whom many called the greatest scientist, Albert Einstein agreed that science without faith (and the reverse) are incomplete. Let that answer your question, instead of trying to pick a fight through a similar one.

And just so that you don't challenge evolution again... the next time you go for a flu shot, ask for the 1986 version. Because surely a lowly life form such as an influenza virus hasn't evolved into a version resistant to changes in human physiology and technology in only 20 years.

Answer 6

The very basic building blocks of all matter are the elements. The most basic element is Hydrogen, which makes up a large portion of matter in the universe.
Hydrogen is also the basic element involved in stars. Stars 'burn' through fusion, where tremendous heat and pressure fuse atoms of hydrogen together, typically producing Helium. However, stars don't only produce Helium, they also produce much heavier materials as a byproduct of fusion, such as Iron, etc.

Strictly speaking, that is the most basic explanation of where the material for the observable universe comes from. Where that original (non-elemental) material came from is anybody's guess.

Answer 7

I subscribe to evolutionary theory because it makes sense.
However, what started it all, why the universe produces and spawns life, presumably over and over again, how and why, is the greatest mystery of life. How could anyone even guess such a thing, the greatest mind that ever lived would not be able to understand the mystery of life in the universe. It is not meant for us to break down in a scientific formula, but to live. I would like to think we are the eyes of the universe.
I think it is unfortunate for people to believe we are the only life before or after ever to come about in the universe , effectively saying the universe revolves around us, or that there is a "right" way to understand our origin. Evolution makes sense because there is mountains of evidence and if you observed with an intelligent eye, you come to the same conclutions, however, where the first seeds of life come from, who knows? God?

Answer 8

Energy itself is the original material. Energy converted to basic particles, which coallesced into hydrogen (mostly), which condensed into balls due to gravity and triggered fusion reactions from the pressure/heat, which converted hydrogen to heavier elements. Those burned out and blew up. Several cycles of this continued until about 4.5 billion years ago our own sun and planets condensed from the leftovers of previous explosions.

Hydrocarbon chains formed spontaneously (because that's what they do). At some point, a chemical formed that acted as its own catalyst, setting off a chain reaction of the formation of these. Since hydrocarbons are extremely flexible in terms of their makeup, the replication process produced inexact copies of the original. Those that did a better job of replicating became dominant. This process continued until it produced people (and continues still).

...in a nutshell.

Answer 9

Since your question is "where" and not who created...
plus your question is generalized...thus, here is my answer,

My version:
The origin of the material of earth is a combination of inert gas which eventually froms a matter and volume, depending on which gases were combined and in accordance to the temperature they were exposed..

There is no "one specific material can come up with various elements".

As about faith, Christians are settled by the fact God created the whole universe.

The Bible was written not to be a science book, but a guidance of faith. But still its contents when compared to science, is not contradictory and most are proven true when it comes to some "technical matter".

The Book of Genesis dates back to the ancient years wherein no man of this age can directly understand or translate what it meant when it says "first day" or "second day".

"accidental" creation is never acceptable, as to- one cannot have a watch if someone did not created it.

There is order to everything, there is surely someone who "created" it- the real origin.

Answer 10

Matter was the basic element that God will use to create the material World. Matter dark or wasted matter, will be collected in the darkness of the emptiness of Space, with no time. the substances will become the inert existence of matter, and matter will be able to produce its own energies, that will use to transport her self from one place to another in search for more energies and matter's as well elements, to absorbed and assimilate to achieved some changes within her cells and molecular structure.
Sorry I am Catholic though I consider my self also to be a Christian, in order to adapt and understand best the North American way of Life.

Answer 11

Everything in the earth and the earth itself is material. According to proved science, Energy is equal to Matter to the square of the speed of light (E=MC2.)

This is an equation, so if energy is created from matter, that means that the reverse is true, matter can be converted from energy. Now, where do we find that much energy to form the universe?

“Raise your eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one [of them] is missing. [...] Have you not come to know or have you not heard? Jehovah, the Creator of the extremities of the earth, is a God to time indefinite. He does not tire out or grow weary." (Isaiah 40:26,28)
