How was the world created?

Question

The big boom or was it mother nature?

Answer 1

read your bible

Answer 2

according to science, it's from the big bang theory. the theory that the world is made of a single continent called pangaea. and after some time, it boomed and divided into seven continents.

according to the bible, God made the world in six days.

"The universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." (Heb. 11:3) "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." (John 1:1-3)

Answer 3

Genesis is of course religious mythology, so nothing to do with the real world.

Look up a good book on cosmology and you will see that the Earth formed along with the rest of the solar system from a mass of gas and dust, the remnants of earlier stars. Astronomers can observe solar system formation going on in many other parts of the galaxy.

Y!A is not a great place to learn about science, to be honest - there are too many people who are less than perfectly qualified to talk about it, or prefer religious beliefs to reality.

Answer 4

In my belief? God caused the big bang, it was God who brought about the unlikely event that out of nothing a ball of energy expanded and sent space debris everywhere. However anyone who tells you that is DEFINATELY happened one way and not another is fooling themselves. No one knows and I doubt anyone will ever.

Answer 5

No one really knows how the world was created,but we can make it the way we want to now regardless of how it got here.

Answer 6

read genesis from the bible.

Answer 7

Creation! A mystery that is difficult for humans to understand. By the word of His mouth, God created all that we see. The sun, moon and stars, the animals and plants. Many hold the Creation account of Genesis to be a fable. Yet, as the open minded individual studies the wonders of nature, the unfolding of a flower, the pink glow of a newborn's hand, the planets in their precise order, one can not help, but have a greater appreciation of who God is and the miracles that He can perform.

Many see the Genesis account of Creation as the sole Biblical evidence of Creation. Yet, there are many other places in the Bible where the Creation of the world is referred to by God as well as His people. God truly is Lord and Creator.

Others suppose that Creation is a fable, like many of the other stories of Genesis. However, since many of these have been proven correct as archeological evidence is unearthed (see the Surprising Discoveries section of this site), then the truthfulness of those leads one to conclude that the Bible is also truthful about a literal seven day creation.

Our computerized search of the Bible looked for the words listed below that are commonly associated with the subject of Creation. It is our hope that these texts will give you a better understanding of God, and therefore, yourself.


Day 1, Light

3And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning --the first day.

Commentary: Since the beginning of time, a day was defined, considered or "reckoned" as extending from evening to evening. Only since the Gregorian calendar was instituted in 1582 and later adopted by the American Colonies in 1752 was the reckoning of a day changed. The day was then reckoned as extending from midnight to midnight.


Day 2, Separation of sky from sea

6And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning --the second day.

Day 3, Dry land & vegetation

9And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. 10God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good. 11Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13And there was evening, and there was morning --the third day.

Day 4, Sun, moon & stars

14And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. 16God made two great lights --the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19And there was evening, and there was morning --the fourth day.

Day 5, Birds & sea creatures

20And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." 21So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." 23And there was evening, and there was morning --the fifth day.

Day 6, Animals & man

24And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 26Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." 29Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground --everything that has the breath of life in it --I give every green plant for food." And it was so. 31God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning --the sixth day.

Commentary: The original diet planned by God for mankind consisted only of plant life. Only after the flood did God authorize the eating of animal life (see Gen. 9:3, 4). While no direct limitations were stated as to which kinds of animals were permitted for flesh foods, it's reasonable to assume that it was limited to the clean animals as previously defined to Noah by God in Gen. 7:2.

Day 7, Sabbath a memorial of Creation

Gen. 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Commentary: The Hebrew word for "day" as used in the Creation account is the commonly used word "Yom" which means a literal 24 hour day consisting of an evening and a morning. This word is used over a thousand times in the Bible and we recognize it as the "Yom" of Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. There is no indication, as some feel, that a creation "day" was a long period of time, i.e. an age or eon. This erroneous teaching began in order to reconcile the Genesis Creation account with the theory of evolution and the radioactive dating techniques commonly used by the scientific community in support of macro evolution. Most scientific evidence points to a young universe. Furthermore, radioactive dating techniques are only relatively accurate for items dating some time after the Flood approximately 4,500 years ago. See Exodus 20:11 and the commentary on page 24. There is NO other source for the seven day week that we currently use except the seven day cycle of Creation.

4This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.
When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens-- 5and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, 6but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground-- 7the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
