the earth came from all the matter being spread out into the universe at the big bang. all matter started out as hydrogen, the lightest element, and from being squished together during the big bang, it formed heavier elements, that make up everything now, and our earth was formed when that matter smashed together, and was held together by gravity. once things calmed down, and there wasn't as much free matter floating around, everything on earth began creating conditions that facilitated life.

4 and a half billion years ago a huge star and its family of planets passed by close to our sun which was then still in the pulsing stage (stars that pulse are called Cephied variables, the sunspot cycle is a remnant of that former pulsing).
With the close approach of that massive star and coinciding with an expansion phase, our sun extruded a vast column of solar material. Although most of that fell back into the sun, the remainder coalesced eventually into our major planets.
Three distant tributaries of the passing system were also detached by means of the gravitational pull of the solar system ancestor. These became part of the ancient solar system, but having a different rotation and orbital direction from the native planets of our sun.
Eventually, these 'alien' planets produced the retrograde motions evidenced in the solar system today.
Since our sun was a second generation star it contained a wide variety of elements, sufficient to produce a much smaller planet earth which then grew by absorbing meteors and much other space debris.
You will find details about this in Paper 57, Section 5 of the book found at
http://www.urantia.org/papers/toc.html
When you get there, do a search for "Paper 57" and go to Section 5 of that paper.
However, the entire paper is very, very, very interesting....

The earth was said to have formed when huge pieces of floating rock and small pieces of dust, as well as gasses, were pulled together because of gravity. The speed at which they "fell" towards each other caused them to mush together. The gasses were the earth's first atmosphere.

its actually from eastern europe. historians dated it back to the 970 B.C. era. its mainly founded in eastern europe though, as i said earlier, found by a man named Baca, around where germany or italy would be now.
