Evolution has little to do with the creation of the earth (also Bible should be capitalized).
Scientific theory holds that about 14 billion years ago, there was a "big bang" of a miniscule piece of matter of incredible density. This explosion scattered sub-atomic particles which could only exist at a extremely high temperature. This, the infant universe, continued to expand and cool, which allowed these particles to form larger particles, which became the recognizable components of an atom, hydrogen. Once matter at the atomic scale existed, it started to coalesce into "chunks" which consolidated mass from large volumes into what would become stars. The earliest stars became large enough to start producing heavier elements from hydrogen by fusion. When these stars attained a large enough iron core (iron seems to be the "midpoint" element between where fusion and fission occurs), the star exploded. BTW, this process is still going on with current stars, but we are still many billions of years ago. The explosion caused the formation of even heavier elements to occur.
This cycle of formation, fusion and explosion continued for many billions of years until the star we call the sun was formed. The sun collided with a star of similar size, causing a consolidated star of somewhat larger mass than either of the two stars, and a cloud of material that was shorn off of the two stars. From this cloud, the planets and their satellites, and the asteroids, and the comets, and all the other crap that hangs around the sun were formed, again by accretion and gravitational consolidation.
The type of planets formed would suggest that when the two stars formed the cloud, the relatively heavy materials stayed relatively close to the sun, so that the planets so formed were of rock and iron, while those further out were formed from gases. The dynamics of this formation is still to be explained; Jupiter was about 1/100th too small to become a star, but hung on to become the largest (and other than the earth, perhaps the most interesting) planet.

The matter in the universe is all evolved from the most basic building blocks on up... our universe is a product of the physical constants of nature as they currently stand, these constants are more or less the multipliers used in force calculations between 2 or more objects and define what these building blocks are and how they interact.
How was the earth formed? All the atoms the earth is composed of were formed through the process of nuclear fusion in a star (or other simliar environment)
Starting with basic hydrogen atoms, stars fuse atomic nuclei until there is insufficient energy released from this process to hold the star up under its own gravitational weight. Then the star usually explodes spreading many different types of atoms from hydrogen to iron and beyond on the periodic table. This cloud can evolve through gravitational process to create solar systems.
So me, you, the earth and mostly everything around you are the remants of some ancient star which died long ago.

The word evolution means a continual change.
The Universe was constructed as a dynamic sytem which is in continual change just like a control system which tries to maintain stability.
The Universe is stable because it continually change to maintain gravitational energy equilibrium.
The word evolution bear very little resemblance to Darwins evolution ideas which has surfaced in modern days as the Theory of Evolution.Those who believe in it are called evolutionits.They have a religion of their own concerning man's destiny.
Man just like the Universe continually changes ,He grows with time and then dies.
So the evolution of man is to procreate ,have a progeny then dies.
This scenario was outlined in the Bible = Death was appointed unto man because of Sin. Initiallly man had a perfect immune system but because of sin man evolved slowly by degrading as time went on his life span got shorter,he was more prone to disease.
So the evolution of man has not really been that he physically improved with time it was really the Inverse.
So Evolution is really the opposite of Darwin's idea.
The be more realistic as to what is happened to mankind would be an Inverse Evolution scenario.
The Universe is not evolving into constructing itself ,its evolving to degrade and eventually burned out.
If a burned out star is refered today as a black Hole,than the Ultimate fate of the Universe acording to cosmologists is that the Universe would end up totally invisible without any shining stars.
So Science see the Universe as dying. Very gloomy views.
The Bible on the other hand gives a more cheerfull view about the future of the Universe.

In order to answer the question of how "everything" has been created, we must first create a theory of "everything." Where did the extremely dense particle which exploded in the big bang come from? That particle was "something." If you are asking, "How did things come to be the way they are now." Then the best answer science has is the big bang and gravity and collisions of objects in space. But we must also consider that before all of this happened, there was the possibility of all of this happening...and that possibility--the environment which permitted the 'creation' of the universe as we know it--was, in itself, "something."

The Bible says Big bang "Let there be light" I fact at the moment of the big bang, all that existed was light.
Evolution. "Let the earth bring forth the creatures of the sea"
"Darkness upon the face of the deep" is a discription of the event horizon of the singularity that existed before the big bang.
