Based on Creationism, there is no way to know what was here before the earth. The Bible starts at Genesis 1:1 with "God created the Heavens and the Earth." There is no way to speculate what was here before that so answers about "gas and energy " would be incorrect based on this threory. Only God himself was present before the earth was made.

Im a Roman Catholic, and as such, this answer concludes that god is too great to be considered in such a question like this. He exists outside of science. So, before the 'big bang' which created the universe, there only existed a single dimension, in theory, where time, and space were entangled with eachother, this following the current theory on dimensions. Currently, the only plausible theory is that this entangled dimension was disentangled with the big bang, anf time and space would separate into to their places, and the universe would fill up with matter, and anti matter, cancelling each other out, until only matter remained, since more matter existed invisbly in the form of dark matter. For about 400,000 years after the big bang, there is little that is concretely known, and this period had been called the "dark ages" of the universe. What is proposed is that after the big bang subsided, the universe was filled with hot plasma, composed of protons, electrons, and photons, all smashing together and reacting with each other. Photons(otherwise called a quantum of electromagnetic energy) would react with the electrons through a process called Thompson Scattering. As the heat energy frm the big bang was no longer being produced, and the universe was expanding, the decrease in temperature below 3000 kelvins allowed the electrons and protons to form hydrogen atoms. Whatever was left became the microwave background.
What followed next is close to speculation; called reionization, hydrogen was converted into an ion, through a small amount of energy, which was produced in stars and black holes, giving rise to the reasoning that galaxies existed before this took place. However, this last piece of information is speculation, since the oldest observable stars and galaxies are only seen from the light that has traveled from them, since the beginning of the universe, as such, we can only see as far as the light has come. As time passes on, so will our distance to see farther increase. Currently , we can only see is about 4x10^26meters, or 42 billion light years.
-Most scientific magazines, like Popular Science and Scientific American, publish materials on these subjects almost every month, be sure to visit their websites to gather further information and theories.

Before the world was created there was an expanding, cooling universe. Eventually, it cooled enough for the gases to solidify and form our planet. If you want to know what was there before the universe, nothing. Time as we understand it is just another dimension of our universe, the fourth and is a part of our universe. Before the universe time did not exist. Interestingly, this is not only the latest idea of theoretical physicists, it was also stated by St. Augustine in the fifth century.

Well, I suppose nothing was here. Because at one point, the universe was so small, it could fit into the palm of your hand. And then, it expanded (the Big Bang). While doing that, elements were formed, one by one. Because the universe, like everything else, was made up of atoms. The atoms bonded together, and eventually made up all the elements necessary to create a planet. And so, Earth was eventually created.

Well i go by the big bang theory... so nothing, which is impossible for us to imagine, but it seems logical. Before that even, i believe there was another universe that collapsed back into the single point described in the big bang theory. I forget what that theory is called but it's supposed to be a cycle like everything contained in the universe it also has a cycle of death and creation. So be prepared for the big collapse people.

In both the scientific and religious belief systems there is an agreement that an energy source of some kind was present. Scientists say that there was a huge explosion that created it all and religious people believe God said "Let there be light" I don't see any difference between the two theories.

According to Dr Who it was gas and rocks and elements. The smaller rocks were puled towards the larger ones by gravity and it all happened from there. Mind you, im not sure if Donna was accurate on the Isle of Wight front lol

I believe in creation. I believe that God created the earth. So be fore the earth i believe it was just a big ball of gas. Because in genisis 1:1 in the beggining God created the heaves and the earth." If you read further is says he separated the waters from the land, thus i believe it was one big ball of watery gas.

The picture that the Bible describes for the beginning years of Earth is that of lava filled canyons and spewing volcano like activity.
