No. The universe started at the big bang, perhaps. The result was super-hot gasses expanding at extreme velocities. Because the spread of gasses was not uniform, as the speed decreased, the gasses started to 'clump'. The temperature dropped and the the 'clumps' eventually formed proto-galaxies. Stars were created in these. Material was spun off the stars which cooled more and eventually formed the planets. The difference in age between the universe and Earth is several billion years, possibly.

No. The universe is thought to have originated some 13.4 billion years ago. Some of the oldest rocks on Earth have been found to be about 4 billion years. The Earth is definately younger then the universe itself. Our planet literally formed from the remnants of exploding stars.

No! The Universe started 14 billion years ago. Earth has only been around for 4.5 billion years.

No.
The universe has existed for about 14 billion years, our own planet for about 4.5 billion years.
The heavy elements of which our planet (and ourselves) are made can only be made in massive stars that go supernova -- it took billions of years for those stars to form, age, make the heavy elements, and scatter those elements into the universe for our earth to be built from before there could *be* an earth.

No.
When the universe came into existence, there was only energy and Hydrogen. It has taken many generations of stars to produce the heavy elements via nuclear fusion that make up planets.

No, the Big Bang started about 14 to 20 billion years before the earth was created. I personly believe in God and not the big bang theory.

no....definitely not. the universe happened billions upon billions of years ago. the earth formed less than 5 billion years ago.
