Life very likely existed before the formation of the Earth, if one allows for life which evolved on planets orbiting other stars. You need a certain abundance of heavy elements in interstellar space before you can end up with terrestrial planets. Studies hint that this threshhold was reached something like three billion years before the formation of the Earth, and that the average age of terrestrial planets in the universe may actually around one or two billion years older than Earth.
And if you have enough heavier elements to form rocky planets, then you certainly have enough to support life, and life seems to turn up quickly on a planet, once things quiet down a bit. (Around a few hundred million years after the formation of a planet, going on Earth's experience.) Though life in the universe, at the time, may not have been all that sophisticated (if we look at Earth again, we find that once life evolved, it took over three billion years for it to get past the blue-green algae phase. Using Earth as the baseline may be a dangerous assumption to make. Conditions for the development of advanced life could be more hospitable on other planets. On the same token, they may actually be less.)

Before the earth was born? No. Not on earth.. because there was nothing for it to live on. Life on earth before what we know, as in like dinosaurs, maybe. The earth has undergone so many diasters, all evidence may have been destroyed.

We are not sure when life emerged in the universe but if it was a few billion years ago there could have been life before earth was born.

If there was life before this earth was created then the scientific name for these beings would be aliens. According to the scientific theory of evolution the only thing that could survive with out oxygen would be god. there could have been people or aliens in another galaxy but not in ours. So no there were no beings in our galaxy before the earth was created.

I.ve asked this question for years! the only answer I have come up with so far is:- maybe--?? because God had to live somewhere before he created the Earth as we know it. I am also happy to wait and find out as I get older and things come to light, as they do.We have discovered and invented so much in the last 100 yrs, but are still no closer to the answer to that question. It all seems t go back to the bible everytime.???SOOOOO

I don't think the earth had a mother so I think it was created, not born. And if it was created, then someone created it.

yes. we lived in the premortal exsistance. everybody who is on the earth today chose to follow christ's plan, and come down to earth. That is why i find it sad that there are so many horrible people in the world today--because at one point they chose rightousness! :(

yes, us 'poor' deluded Christians are taught that
God has always existed, no beginning, no end,
that is an 'honest,sincere answer.
