did god create earth or was it a natural event?

Question

so how did earth start???

Answer 1

i'm tired of seeing your cracked out avatar. do you resemble it???

Answer 2

Natural event. Early in its life, the Sun was surrounded by clouds of dust and gas. This material slowly clumped together into larger and larger pieces. Eventually, enough was concentrated in four bodies to form the inner solar system planets. The final major event in the formation of the Earth was probably the collision with a Mars-sized planetary body. This huge smashup added many millions of tons of material to the Earth. Some material also went into orbit of the Earth and evolved into the Moon.

Answer 3

Natural events such as motion and time due to gravity are natural event. And obey the laws of physics that science has discovered.
The construction of the earth including time did not obey the laws of physics because before creation physics wasnt here yet. Therefore Creation was something above natural ,and any scientific person would realize that the" Creation Phenomena "is beyond Human grasp

As Einstein said "He does not play with dice". However Science does.
One cannot talk about Creation without implying the Creator as the designer and constructor....
It would be absurd for science to leave that out of the Equation....

Answer 4

No one knows for sure. I'm fairly certain no one visiting Yahoo! Answers today has been around back then.

There are scientific theories, like the Big Bang, which try to help to explain things. This has several holes in it, though. Like what caused the Big Bang? What existed before it? And what created what existed before it?

Of course, there is also the religious answer: that God created Earth.

I doubt any of us will know in our lifetimes, if ever.

For all practical purposes of your question and our limited knowledge, your answer is: whatever you believe.

Answer 5

Let me throw in my two cents. I'm not on here to tell anyone what to believe. But you are asking this question under the category of science (and astronomy). This question belongs under philosophy or religion. The only possible answers to this question have to be based on the answerer's personal beliefs. You've engineered the question so that it would have to be this way. Therefore, post this question in the proper category. A science-oriented question will not have answers that start with "I believe that...", "Are you Muslim?" (where did that answer come from), "Genesis 1:1....", "You need to work on your faith", etc. You get the idea.

The science answer to your question of "How did the earth come into existence?" should go something like this:

blah, blah, blah, Big Bang, blah, blah, blah, inflation, blah, matter, blah, super nova, blah, accretion disk, blah, our sun, blah, coelesced (sp?), blah, gas giants, blah, blah, blah. Did I leave out any key buzz words that people like to throw around as if they know what they are talking about?

Please, if your question has the word 'god' in it, don't post it as a science question. You are only trying to stir up a nasty debate.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Both. Natural events are ways used by God.

Answer 7

Big bang, followed by formation of the Milky Way, our sun, and solar system. Eventually Earth was formed and people evolved. Shortly after humans created gods and religion.

Answer 8

It may have been both. I think that God created the Earth, but he created it over billions of years. Why did he do that when he could just pop it into existance? He was trying to do it in a way that went by the laws of physics.

Answer 9

both. god created the nature, and the nature created earth. :P
well.. the universe must have started by something, something that is difficult if not impossible to explain. even if there's a big bang that created the universe, there must be something that started the big bang. then the universe was created, and earth comes later

Answer 10

It was a natural event.

LOL - if the odds of the earth being created the way it is comes to 0.0000000000000000000000000.... odds, what are the odds that a god had anything to do with it. Of all the possibilities of what happened, what are the odds he exists at all. They are even less than 0.00000000000000000000000....

Answer 11

Probably natural event. There might be a creator, but it's more than likely it's a natural event.
