What are your belifs on how the earth was created?

Question

Detailed explanation
please and thank you

Answer 1

The Hubble space telescope has captured several pictures of solar systems being made.

A supernova (exploding star) generates a nebula (gas cloud).

Due to unequal distribution of dust within the nebula, areas with greater density attract dust from areas with less density (due to the gravity of the dense areas).

The centres of these dense areas attract the most dust, eventually forming stars. Disks of dust rotate around these stars.

Within the disk, dust accumulates wherever the density is greatest. Eventually, these become planetesimals (mini-planets) which attract dust to their orbits. Wherever the dust crosses an orbit, it is eventually swept up by the planetesimals, forming planets.

This is how the earth was formed.

As for oceans and the material for life, these were formed by comets bombarding the earth.

Atmosphere is formed as a result of the gases being heated and expelled from the planet as the planet's gravity increases and the matter that makes it up becomes more dense and more firmly packed (due to gravity).

Providing the gravity is strong enough, these gases are caught by the planet's gravity and retained. This process can still be witnessed wherever there are volcanoes (which expel a considerable amount of gas).

Continents are formed as a result of the weight of different chemicals. The cores of planets are almost always made of iron, while the crust of the planet is usually made up of lighter silicon-based materials. The continents float on the denser material that makes up the core (think of marshmallows floating in a cup of hot chocolate).

That's a rough description. More can be found by researching this topic in astronomy texts.

Answer 2

The scientific evidence is conclusive. The earth (and sun and other planets) were agglomerated from dust and gas by their gravitational attraction, at least some of which (and probably the impetus as well) came from a supernova explosion which created the heavy elements found in the earth. This took place some 4.6 billion years ago. The condensation would have released a great deal of heat, so all the water would initially have been present as water vapor. As the earth cooled, rain filled the ocean; the atmosphere was nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane, and there was no life at the time. The moon was much closer to the earth than it is now, and the earth correspondingly rotated much more rapidly; tides 250 feet high churned things up twice in a ten hour day. Fairly soon after this, by means presently unknown, life began. Initially, evolution was slow; it took billions of years before eukaryotic life arose and photosynthesis converted the atmosphere from CO2 to oxygen some 2.7 to 2.4 billion years ago. Life first came onto land about 580 million years ago, and evolved rapidly into the vast panoply of life we see today. Mankind, in approximately its present form, has been around about a million years, hominid precursors are found starting about 5 million years ago.
Postscript: There is no evidence that any sort of god had anything to do with any part of this.

Answer 3

We know there was 7 creative periods (fossils are also found in this order). just because day is mentioned it didnt necessarily mean 24 hours or 1000 years. There may be a longer period or a period between to let things cool down from molten rock for example. Remember that there is a place where god is that time does not necessarrily exist in the form that we understand (God measures the heavens and thus the Laws of the universe). Joseph Smith said the universe was 15 billion years old back in the 1830-40s which was a new idea to religionists then. Brigham Young was a collector of fossils and firmly believed that this earth was older than the 7000 years most religious sects would have us blindly believe.
We are not told all things in the scriptures since the purpose of the scriptures is not to give an express history of the earth but is to lay out the plan of salvation in practical day to day terms to get us to repent and then act upon the plan of salvation and get back to our heavenly father.

Answer 4

People usually demand a beginning, so in the beginning there was a sea of spirit and it filled all of space. The spirit was static, content, and aware of itself. It was a giant resting on the bosom of its thought and contemplating what it is.

Then the spirit moved into action. It withdrew into itself until all of space was empty. In the center, the restless mind of the spirit shone. This was the beginning of the individuality of the spirit. This was what the spirit discovered itself to be when it awakened. This spirit was God.

God desired self-expression and desired companionship; therefore, God projected the cosmos and souls. The cosmos was built with music, arithmetic, geometry, harmony, system, and balance. The building blocks were all of the same material - the life essence. It was the power of God that changed the length of its wave and the rate of its vibration which created the patterns for multitudes of forms. This action resulted in the law of diversity which supplied endless patterns. God played on this law of diversity as a pianist plays on a piano - producing melodies and arranging them in a symphony.

Each design carried within it the plan for its evolution. This plan corresponds to the sound of a note struck on a piano. The sounds of several notes unite to make a chord; chords in turn become phrases; phrases become melodies; melodies intermingle and move back and forth, across and between and around each other, to make a symphony. Then in the end, the music will stop and the physical universe will be no more; but between the beginning and the finish of the music there was glorious beauty and a glorious experience. The spiritual universe will continue.

Everything assumed its design in various forms and their activity resulted in the law of attraction and repulsion. All forms would attract and repel each other in their evolutionary dance.

All things are a part of God and an expression of God's thought. The Mind of God was the force which propelled and perpetuated these thoughts. All minds, as thoughts of God, do everything God imagined. Everything that came into being is an aspect of the One Mind.

Answer 5

definite, in certainty "created" the universe is pertaining to creating the regulations of the universe, count, area and time in this manner of vogue that each and every little thing could ultimately create existence. The Catholic Church easily says evolution is "better than a concept" and the guy that got here up with the super Bang concept became right into a Catholic Priest. So, the biggest and oldest Christian Church is high-quality with it yet i think of a few of extra recent, smaller variations like fundamentalists and Baptists could in all hazard say "no, God made the earth along with his bare palms." The Jews and early Christians warned against taking what's non secular language as literal language. So, Genesis is non secular language it is meant to prepare us many stuff relating to the reality of the worldwide besides the undeniable fact that it is not some 7 day adventure of how a guy named God equipped a planet along with his bare palms.

Answer 6

There was a Big Bang, and then after trillions of tiny particles such as hydrogen attracted together via gravity, eventually forming masses such as the Sun. A certain star went supernova after a few billion or so years (exploding with incredible power), causing complex atoms to form. These atoms formed & attracted together again after millions more years, forming a sulphur rich, volcanic planet (later to be known as earth). With a long time of being uninhabited and slowly cooling down, amino acids eventually formed out of a primordial soup, and was probably struck by lightening or something, and brought forth the first life, which over billions more years (as the earth had cooled much by now and the bacteria consumed much of the sulphur in the atmosphere, and produced water, etc, by excreting oxygen), evolved into multicellular organisms, and plants/fungi & bacteria evolved over millions more years, getting more and more complex and specific to the environment, to bring us current day life. Simple..............

There is a possibility that meteors from other planets hit earth (and they could have contained the amino acids, etc), or something alien happened with humanity at the dawn of man (I.e. genetic manipulation/cross-breeding), the sudden exponential growth of intelligence suggests something important happened at the dawn of man which may still not be fully understood to this day, the sad thing is that much of this knowledge and the information leading to this knowledge is withheld from the masses by a very small few. This last paragraph is just mine (and other scholars) speculation and opinion however; not fact.

Answer 7

Let there be light = the Big bang
Let the earth bring forth the creatures of the sea = evolution.

God created the universe and used evolution as his method of creating life. He then put a soul into Adam and Eve to mold them into God image.

An accurate interpretaion of the Bible supports this belief

Answer 8

The earth is made up of different elements.
So would all the stars and galaxies we see.
And God made them all.
(Isaiah 40:26) “Raise YOUR eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one [of them] is missing.

Exactly HOw He did it we may never know, but He is consistent.

Scientists can tell what a star is made up of by its light waves. Each element gives off a certain wavelength.
There is one star out there that gives off the wavelength of GOLD.
A huge star made of GOLD?
The science says it.
And planets around stars are just being 'found', not by seeing, but by their effects.
God IS consistent. He set the rules of science and sticks with them.

Answer 9

it has nothing to with belief
because its based on observation
here one observation
there are many layers of sediments that make up the crust of the earth.
in these different layers there are fossils and the fossils are ordered by species
at the top are mammals
then dino's
then amphibians
then insects
then fish
then soft body organisms
also the different types of radioactive dating
indicate that these layers of sediment get older
the deeper you dig
this fossil record and geological record indicate to that the world is really old
there are other things that indicate that the world is real old
like
the rates of flow of under ground aquifers
the water in these aquifers take hundreds of thousands of yrs to flow through the rock
these are just three things and many more indicate the world is really old, like billions of yrs old
hope this hlps cause im gettin tired of typing

Answer 10

I believe that we are stupid creatures who use 10% of our brains, and can't even comprehend the idea of infinity. To think for a second that we can know how this planet was created is just plain arrogance.
