How was the world created?

Question

Go for it...

Answer 1

Since you have asked this question in the science section, I will give you a scientific answer. In the early solar system, basically a large assortment of gas and dust coalesced and became a rather large rocky object. It continued to collect any gas, dust, and rocks near it because of it's gravity until it reached more or less the present size of Earth. The moon was created when a body the size of Mars collided with the planet. The water was delivered from collisions with comets.

Answer 2

God help me! Since you have posted this question in Earth Science and Geology, I will give you a précis of the scientific view. Just because the Bible says such and such, doesn't make it so! The Bible is a great book on morality, it is really, really crap when it comes to science.

Right. Sometime in the past, 5 or 6 billion years ago, a supernovae exploded in this part of the galaxy. We cannot know if it had its own solar system, but we can calculate that during the explosion elements heavier than iron were formed.
The matter would have been scattered out and formed a nebular: a vast cloud of dust. As time went by the particles would start accreting together, drawn by the force of gravity. Naturally the largest mass formed in the centre, with smaller clouds orbiting (due to angular momentum) around the central mass.
As the masses got larger they started to heat. When the central mass exceeded a certain size (greater than 0.5 solar mass), and the core temperature exceeds 107,000 Kelvin, hydrogen fusion starts to take place: the Sun is formed.

Meanwhile the new star's satellites are forming. The gas giants further out are too far away from the Sun to lose the massive atmospheres (in fact, some of them are nothing but atmosphere: Saturn is thought not to possess a rocky core at all). Most of the inner planets have any volitile atmospheres driven off. None of the new planets are as we see them today. Venus was yet to form its clouds of CO2. Once cooled, Mars had water flowing over its surface. The Earth must have had a thick atmosphere of H2O because as the planet cooled these condensed and filled up the Earth's basins, forming the seas. The remaining atmosphere had no oxygen in it: oxygen is a by-product of microbe activity and it took billions of years for the planet to poison itself with oxygen pollution.

Now, all this is the Janet-and-John version. Go and buy a decent science book for up-to-date knowledge with proper sources. There are plenty of web sites out there who will try and say yes but, in the Bible it says... therefore we can interpret that to fit this scientific fact. They are wrong! In the 16th. and 17th Centuries, the Catholic church was criticized for the doctrine of prevarication. These new web site are worse: Catholics where only trying to avoid telling lies while not stating the complete truth. These new sites are trying to maintain an outdated and disproved fiction in the face of provable facts.

Oh yes, and while I'm having a rant: Big Bang is the theory that attempts to explain the creation of the universe, not the solar system. Wake up people!

Answer 3

It was created a long time ago. If you want to know more it depends on whose version you want.

1) 2006 version (well more 1975 actually). In the beginning there was nothing and it exploded. As the bits cooled down, some settled where we are now and gradually turned into the lump of stuff we call the world.

2) About 100BC version (Genesis Chapter 1) God created the heavens and the earth on Day 1. It took him another 5 days to fit it out, then he had a day off.

3) About 500BC version (Genesis Chapter 2 OK so they wrote it backwards) God created it as in Chapter 1, but it didn't take him so long.

They all sound a bit far fetched to me. It's about time we had a new version.

Answer 4

An intersting quote from Professor Richard Dawkins :-
"A recent Gallup poll concluded that nearly 50% of the American public believes the universe is less than 10,000 years old. Nearly half the population, in other words, believes that the entire universe, the sun and solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, the Andromeda galaxy, and all the billions of other galaxies, all began after the domestication of the dog! "

What do you want to believe? modern science or something that was written in the Bronze Age?

Answer 5

...as well as the world He also created Adam and Eve and, being God, knew their every thoughts but still was TOTALLY surprised and really CROSS when they made an apple pie or something.

Still, might as well use that knowledge and understanding collected since humans achieved consciousness to conclude that the most probable (and non-magical) method was by the condensation of elements formed from the supernova of a previous star. In which nuclear fusion sequentially created elements before collapsing under it's own mass and exploding once the fusion ran out of juice. These elements kicked around space for a bit before gravity gave them bit of spin and they condensed under their mass,forming stars and planets due to boring old physics with the most massive (the sun) at the centre, then iron rich planet, then gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. If Jupiter was just a tiny bit bigger then it would have enough mass to ignite fusion and be a star. I know all of this because God told me over a cider in the Dog and Duck, and he knows it cos he "made-it-so", so that's alright then. I used to believe it was sicked out of a space pig who was dizzy in orbit until He sorted me out and told me how stupid that sounded. Phew.

Answer 6

the world was created the same way as any other planet was created. we were just lucky because we were the right distance away from the sun so we couldnt burn up or freeze.

Answer 7

God may have created it, but that can not be scientifically proven. There were some crashes that brought about some things, but I do know that it is believed that life began when a volcano erupted under water, it exposed enough complex molecules to begin forming with outher molecules and create forms of life. These forms of life continued to meet and greet until they expanded the oxygen level, and more complex forms of life were created.

Answer 8

Not entirely known. Probably from an accumulation of bits and pieces left over from the formation of the sun. One thing is certain - the mythical god had nothing at all to do with it!

Answer 9

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
Douglas Adams
