Answer 2

The stars were first. Our Sun is a third generation star, and is next on the list. The Earth came last.

Answer 3

The stars, which the sun is a star. I'm not entirely sure if they came first, but one thing is certain...life on a planet would not exist without first having the sun/star so the sun definitely predates at least life on this planet.

Answer 4

The stars then the sun then the earth. Obvious really - complex elements (more complex than hydrogen and helium), which make up our solar system, can only be made in other stars. When those old stars exploded the matter and new elements dispersed. It collected around a hot cloud (our sun) and eventually our earth formed.

Answer 5

Genesis doesn't say: it just says:
In the beginning , God created the Heavens and the earth. (period). It only states that He created them both, although He names Heaven first, if that means anything to you.
However, the Genesis account is not the first creation of the earth; it is the refurbishing of it to make it habitable for flesh life after the destruction in the war where satan rebelled. So for someone to try to determine which came first, the account you read in Genesis will not help to do that.

Answer 6

I think the big bang made a lot of dust which in turn made a lot of stars in time and our sun probably took its sweet time coming around after all this. so the planets formed around it along with the sun .

Answer 7

The earth came first.
Because,
Of the chronology that it was written down.

Gen 1:10 And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:11 Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with seed in them, on the earth"; and it was so.
Gen 1:12 And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
Gen 1:14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;
Gen 1:15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so.
Gen 1:16 And God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.

If you are thinking that photo synthesis is the way for things to grow, what about black smokers at the bottom of the ocean. No light there.

Answer 8

Hello Mayor, I don't know which came first.
Whenever I try to tune in, I keep getting the same message, the universe appeared all at once.

Answer 9

science has shown us that in most cases, the strongest evidence seesm to indicate that planets are often the stellar matter that is spun off or ejected from the formation of that star. i would then think that, as a result, the start would be forming first, as it ejects plaentary matter, meteorites, etc.

Answer 10

Genesis 1
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
