Tell me, do you just like seeing your "name in lights" or do you just not except the 2880 answers to this exact question asked 92 times?

Answer 2

Einstein's famous equation e=mc2 shows that matter and energy are the same. Superstring theory tells us that the fundamental constituent in nature is a packet of energy. There really is nothing you call matter, only concentrated packets of energy.

Furthermore, Quantum Mechanics tells us that it takes consciousness to collapse the probability field into the state we call matter. So matter is formed when consciousness acts on energy. This is scientific fact and no physicist will argue this.

So consciousness and energy must have pre-existed creation. But whose consciousness and what energy? What better definition of God can exist than that of original source?

In the beginning there was the Creator, the original source. The Creator was all that there was and there was nothing that was not the Creator. The Creator was composed entirely of energy, and was completely conscious and aware of every aspect of it's own Divinity. Just as you might know yourself to be a generous person but would not be able to experience the act of giving generously unless there was someone other than you to whom you could give, the Creator though aware of it's own Divinity could not fully experience itself since all was one.

Therefore the Creator worked out a magnificent plan where all things could be experienced. In a singular moment we call the Big Bang, the energy of the Creator (which we call Love) was converted into the fundamental building block of matter - the photon of light (E=MC2). Through the principles of vibrating energy creation was stratisfied into density layers in the same way the vibrations we call sound stratisfy into harmonic layers. Just like some sound frequencies cannot be detected by your hearing, some densities of creation cannot be directly percieved by our senses.

Some fundamental conclusions (again supported by science) are that:

1. Everything in Creation is an individual expression of the Creator, by the Creator. Therefore every atom, rock, tree, animal, human, planet, star or galaxy is alive with it's own level of consciousness imparted by the Creator.

2. The energy of the Creator is the fundamental constituent of nature from which all things are formed. Therefore there is no separation from the Creator or anything else, this is only an illusion.

3. The gift of the illusion of separation was provided in order that each person could co-create their own variation of experience with absolute free-will. Nonetheless, it is still an illusion, in reality all-is-one.

Truth is, your very existence here is proof of the Creator. You were created BY the Creator, OF the Creator, and you exist in a highly detailed holographic environment that overlays true reality.
Like an actor in a daytime soap opera, the character you are playing now is not the real you, you are merely acting out your dramas on this stage of visible light.

Unlike a scripted TV show however, this play is an improvisation, and you are a co-creator of the entire production.

Answer 3

In the beginning - Universe started with an inflationary era. This is often poorly called 'the big bang'. It was not, as popularly called, an 'explosion'. A high vacuum energy collapsed into a lower stable state, and the potential energy was converted into lots of particles, lots of energy, and LOTS AND LOTS of spacetime.

Fastforward a bit -- Clouds of hydrogen begin to collapse into stars. At this time, there is very little but hydrogen and helium. Perhaps some lithium, maybe a few atoms of heavier stuff, but nothing worth mentioning. These stars undergo fusion. Many of them are so large that they end in supernovas. During supernovas, the heavy elements are created.

Fastforward a bit --- In the local area (relatively speaking, we're talking a space of a few hundred lightyears), a number of massive stars go supernova, spewing their remaining hydrogen and gigatons of heavy elements into a nebulous cloud. Without the force of fusion fighting gravity, the cloud begins to condense around seeds of higher density.

Fastforward a bit ---- One of these seeds gets large enough and dense enough that it begins to rotate. It flattens into a disk with a large central bulge. In a few million years, the bulge is big enough that fusion begins. Sol, as our sun is scientifically know, is born.

Fastforward a bit ----- The disk continues to collapse around seeds of its own. Small chunks of dense matter form. These attract each other and collide, forming larger chunks. Because gravity encourages spherical formation, the larger the chunks get, the more spherical they get. Eventually, you have planets. The gas giants corral the excess gaseous materials in the disk. The newly formed planets clean out their tracks. The solar system is complete. (oh, and a HUGE thing smacks what will be earth, and forms the moon and other geological features of earth. Trivial in the GRAND scheme of things, but worth mentioning)

Fastforward a bit ------ Earth is covered with a layer of the light elements, including loads of carbon. There's little to no oxygen, but lots of DNA and RNA base pairs, along with amino acids. These form naturally in anerobic organic environments in the presence of energy (say, light from a sun). Through random chance on the local level, and statistical development on the global level, protocells form that encapsulate short DNA/RNA strands in fatty acid capsules. Life begins.

Fastforward a bit ------- Because the DNA and RNA in these protocells is not duplicated perfectly every time it is copied, mutations start. Sometimes strands join, sometimes they split, sometimes free floating strands are absorbed (something still seen today in bacteria). Evolution begins.

Fastforward a bit -------- Eventually, a small protocell that has evolved to include the ability to convert sunlight to useful metabolic energy is enveloped by another cell. They work so well together that the energy cell loses its genetic distinctness over generations. The chloroplast begins. Elsewhere, a small protocell that converts chemical energy into other forms of chemical energy is absorbed into other cells. The mitochondria begins. Because plants start here, the atmosphere becomes oxygenized, which allows for more complex metabolism, and thus more complex life.

Fastforward a bit --------- Because evolution has plenty of time to work, little things build up from less complex systems. What begins as a skin cell with an unusual capacity for reacting to light eventually becomes a photosensor. Since this photosensor is useful, future generations develop a protective covering for it, because a few early individuals have mutations that cause unusual cell growth over the sensor. Because it is useful to be able to redirect this now-protected sensor, those individuals with muscles near it better procreate, and so on until you have an eye.

The rest follows from here.

Answer 4

I think there was a big explosion that created the universe, which continues to this day, and large chunks of rock (many formed from compressed gasses of exploded stars) floated through space and got caught in the orbit of forming stars, and a series of events on the third planet from the star Sol created oceans of water, an atmosphere, etc., and then plant life appeared, and then new plants started to pollute the atmosphere with oxygen.

The life evolved to survive on oxygen, and slowly life overtook the planet. ^^

I do think it is possible that some sort of divine power caused the explosion, but I prefer to worship my gods in the now and not speculate about whose gods thought maybe an explosion would be cool.

Answer 5

No, God created the world. Read Genesis 1 and 2.

Genesis 1:1-5 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

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

Answer 6

Well i always heard that god made the earth and everything, and yes the world itsself had alot to do with evolving from things, like a electric light evolve from a candle - torch, cups,pots,silverwear evolved from old age things.

Answer 7

Google for 'planetary nebula' and 'accretion disk'.

Solar systems and planets are being formed all the time. There is nothing at all unusual about planets... they are the rule, rather than the exception. Recent computer simulations indicate that as many as one out of three stars that have planetary systems probably have planets that we might consider to be 'earth-like'; i.e., capable of supporting life. That would place their numbers in the billions of billions.

Also, in the vicinity of 'stellar nurseries', astronomers have observed huge (tens of thousands of light years) clouds of organic chemicals... the 'building blocks of life'.

It is highly probable that life is as common as dirt in the universe, and it arises from simple, perfectly natural processes, given the right conditions.

Answer 8

The explanation is book length and contains some fairly complex physics. You can start to get familiar with basics at NASA's cosmology site. Link below. of course I realize that takes more effort than "then the big sky fairy waved her magic wand." But I assume you're an adult and you actually want to know instead of believing fables.

Answer 9

No it was created by Jesus
did you ever notice it says the earth was without form and void
thats cuz the angels rebelled after the first verse Then he remade the world

Answer 10

It probably condensed, along with the sun and all other solar system bodies, from the remnant gas and dust cloud left behind after the death of an earlier star.
