YES, there have been many theories about the formation of the Solar Systems. However, the idea that perfect spheres has something to do with the instant creation of the Solar System is a bit off the wall...
It has been theorized that the explosion of the Big Bang hapopened and the debris from that explosion flew out of the center of the burst at terrific speed. Ian Ridpath, author of ASTRONOMY, DK Publishing, NY NY, says that in that explosion all energy and matter were created and that matter took its present form. Temperatures suggested within the center of the explosion were in the area of 1,800 Trillion
Trillion Degrees F. Nothing anywhere on Earth can produce temperatures that hot. So we cannot forecast what fusions and materials might be produced at that high temperature.
It is certain, however, that most solid matter would have been molten for a long time after the heat and force of that explosion. Molten metals tend to form into balls or spheres. Being heavy, they have mass (or vice versa), and having mass, they have gravity. So they would attract smaller particles from their near vicinity as they traveled outward from the explosion. The sphere would continue to shape and reshape itself as long as it was molten. That is how we got spherical planets. Just look at a gas bubble in water...same thing.

To the part about the perfect spheres: yes.
It was most in vogue for over a thousand years. As measurements got more refined, more and more corrections were made until one day, it was no longer tenable. It was replaced with a better one with ellipses instead. Kepler thought of the change).
As for the energy converting into mass, that is included in the Big Bang. However, the Big Bang theory, being about much larger scales (e.g., entire universe) does not go into the details of individual solar systems.
And when the energy travels in the form of photons (as it often does, well... it is going at the speed of light.
So, the answer is yes. someones have put forward such a theory. It is the bit about the perfect spheres that did not work.

Christian Apologetics. Christian Apologetics contains numerous resources for the defence of the Christian faith; including evidence in support of creation, a global flood, the accurate translation and copying of the Bible throughout centuries, the birth, life, death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the authenticity of the entire Bible and fulfilled prophecies. These are just some of the reasons I can think of to support what I've just claimed. Go to any Christian book store, especially one of significant size, and you'll find books, tapes, videos, DVDs and even CD Roms full of lots of evidence to study and dissect. Evidence from highly educated scientists, theologians, Archaeologists etc. PS: Once you've finished studying the few resources I've listed, take one topic at a time and compare it with all other possibilities related to that topic -ie: creation verses evolution etc When you have all the evidence on both sides of the issues you can use the mathamatical laws of propbability to deterimine which side is the most believable and which side has the most supporting evidence. For example: The birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ fulfilled over 300 very specific prophecies, most of which a mere man would be unable to manipulate and over which a mere man would have no control. Take only about a dozen of those prophecies -pick the toughest and most specific/descriptive. The alternatives would be He is who He said He is or the fulfillment was simply coincidental. The laws of probability state that the odds that one man fulfilling those exact prophecies exactly, 100 percent as prophecied was a mere coincidence are 1 in 10 to the power of 134. To give you an idea of the size of that number, that's 1 in 10 followed by 134 zeros-Evidence That Demands a Verdict

The formation of stars and planetary systems is a well-studied sub-field of astronomy. It does not involve energy converting into mass. The planets and stars are not perfect spheres, but the extent to which they are spheres is the result of self-gravity acting upon bodies that are mostly fluid.

Although there are some contrary minority opinions; mainstream cosmologists tend to agree that Solar System's are formed from an accretion disc of cosmic debris.
