Has the earth never not been here?

Answer 1

the earth is roughly 5 billion years old in a universe that's anywhere from 12-15 billion years old. so that makes our solar system/planet about one third of the life of the universe. also, stars, galaxies and the like, didn't start forming together until after a few billion years after the initial bang, and the radiation from it had a chance to cool and matter collect together. so that makes us pretty young as far as the whole concept of planetary/universal age. i reckon our star is the great grandson of the first gas giant stars that went supernova billions of years ago. and they would have had to have gone supernova too. that is the process in which heavier elements like our planet and the matters on it are made from.

Answer 2

The earth is made of the elements in the Periodic Table. Those elements were forged in stars. Then they had to be spewed into a nebula. Then they had to collect into a planet. Until that happened, the earth wasnt never not here.

Answer 3

--YES ABOUT perhaps 4 or 5 billion years ago, as science has estimated!(or there is the possibility that it was being created as God was producing the universe--as a totally void planet, with a greater age)

--BUT AS THE UNIVERSE was not God's first creation--but was God's only begotten Son who became Christ!

(Proverbs 8:22-26) “22 “Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago. 23 FROM TIME INDEFINITE (an extremely long time ago) I was installed, from the start, from times earlier than the earth. 24 When there were no watery deeps I was brought forth as with labor pains, when there were no springs heavily charged with water. 25 Before the mountains themselves had been settled down, ahead of the hills, I was brought forth as with labor pains, 26 when as yet he had not made the earth and the open spaces and the first part of the dust masses of the productive land.”

(Genesis 2:4) “. . .This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time of their being created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.”

Answer 4

I'd have to say yes. The earth hasn't always existed. Believers of God say that God created it. Non-believers say that it was created by other means. As to however the universe came to be. Either way, the universe had a beginning and will probably have an end.

Answer 5

No, it's not never not been not here, not, unless it has ... not....
Wot ?

On a more positive note, the 'Earth' as you so quaintly put it, is 'here', which is actually 'no-where' as 'Space' doesn't really exist, and while we're on the subject, neither does 'Time'. Both of these concepts being constructs, artificially induced to make the whole thing work, which of course, it doesn't .... much.

The one thing you can be sure of, is that if it did, or not, I would be the last to know, or maybe you would .... or not ?

Answer 6

according to the bible and science, Yes. The earth was created from nothing just like the rest of the universe.

Answer 7

I think you mean "has the earth ever not been here" and the answer is most likely "yes."

Answer 8

No, the earth has not always been here.
Actually, due to the earth's rotation around the sun, it really is not always here, it was here, now it's here, and now it's here....

Answer 9

Argg... what's with the double negative "never not been"

At one time the earth was basically tons and tons of interstellar dust, dispersed across millions of cubic miles of space. Gravity eventually caused it to coalesce into the planet we're now standing on.

Incidentally, you were also space dust, as was I.

Answer 10

there was indeed a point when the earth was not here. it's hard to give a timeline, but before our solar system formed... yeah. clear time without earth.
