i have a question for everyone that said god. if god created the earth for humans, why are other planets out there. ones that we cant even see yet. why did he create all of the other solar system we can see. so we can get there and notice "hey, we just wasted 13 trillion dollars and 5 decades to get here and find nothing"? i dont think so.
im gonna favor a series of scientifically explainable astronomical events. not an all powerful deity that has always been there and can speak a word and it comes into existence. that makes more sense than the big bang how? the only reason that could possibly make more sense to anyone is because it requires no thought. to any question you can just reply, "because hes god!" and u think thats an answer. its an outdated idea that was created when we didnt know any better.

The solar system was formed from dust and space debris and we became what we are today with the help of gravity and time, which equals billions of years. This universal balance was all created by God our heavily father. I believe in both science and God. My parents brought me up this way. I went to church every Sunday but still owed a telescope and microscope and was encourage to question. I believe that God wants us to be as smart as we can and that means understanding how he created this wonderfully balanced universe and solar system we live in. I do not believe that God wants us to step backwards to the days before the industrial revolution, like many over zealous religious groups wants for us to do. I do not believe that a highly intelligent God is jealous of us becoming to smart as we will never master his understanding and the bottom line is we will always be his children.
Edit Update: The question askers question did not ask how the universe got here. The question asked how the Solar System got here. There is a big difference. The Big Bang created the universe not our solar system during this same time frame. The Big Bang ultimately created the dust and debris that created our solar system but now we are talking about time before our 4.8 billion year old solar systems. First there is the universe then there are the galaxies residing in our universe and in many of the galaxies are billions of stars which with any luck will have a solar system and we are one of many in the Milky Way galaxy which is, like I already said, is one of billions of galaxies that makes up our vast universe.

I consider myself to be an agnostic, which is someone who neither believes nor disbelieves (completely) in a supernatural 'God-like' being, simply because it is impossible to ever know the true answer, so there is no point in worrying about it. I give more credit to the Theory of Evolution simply because there is more evidence pointing in that direction and away from any form of intelligent design. I was raised a Roman Catholic and I remember myself questioning points in the Bible and what I believed were hypocrises and inconsistencies when I was only in third grade. The fact that my religion teacher, nor anyone for that matter, could not give me an answer to my questions other than 'I don't know' or 'It is not meant for us to understand' (a.k.a. I don't know), did not exactly leave me with a firm belief in God(s).
I'd like to point out that no one can ever prove anything 100% for the simple reason that any hypothesis that is tested can not be tested in every possible circumstance. There may be circumstances where that hypothesis works and others where it does not, but where does that leave us when, for instance, we only can test the circumstances in which it does work. But I digress.
In answer to your question, I simply see too many 'pieces of evidence' that suggest that Evolution is 'true,' as we understand the word. It makes too perfect sense and is time and again 'proven' by new developments of 'genetic mapping' and the discovery of new species, the study of human behavior over time, etc. I also find it quite odd that there are so many different established religions in the world, most of which profess themselves to be the 'one and only' truth. It is easier to believe that religion is just a human creation, one designed in order to provide order and offer a meaning and goals to this life, and that since there are various groups of humans throughout the world, each with their own cultural beliefs, that different religions have sprung up over time, then to believe, for example, that there truly is a supernatural being who created all, controls all, knows all, and does not use this omnipotency to cure the world's ills, and declares that he or she (or both for that matter) is the one and only ruler, that his truth is the one and only truth, that all those who do not believe in him or her are doomed because of their 'ignorance,' and that this same supernatural, omnipotent being does not make his presence known in a time when photographs and sound recordings and DNA testing can be performed, but who instead chose to reveal himself to groups of persecuted people at a time when such documentation could not be made of his existence. (I can't believe how long that sentence is!) I realize that what I describe sounds similar to the Christian belief system, but I do question all the established religions; I simply am most familiar with that of Christianity.

how about intelligent design of an entire civilization? let me ask this. who built your computer? obviously it was designed by an intelligent designer, it wouldn't spontaneously appear (although a similar machine could appear over billions of years of self replicating and natural selection).
So who is the guy who designed it? must be pretty smart hu? but it wasn't any one individual was it? no one person could make a machine as complex as this.
our solar system started out as a giant whirling cloud of gas and dust that came from a star that was the product of many other stars that were created during the big bang, a phenomenon that we can trace back to billion billion billion billion billionth of a second after it began. Before that, we don't really know.
if you want to call it an intelligent designer named god, I won't argue, but I will laugh at you.

The solar system was created by the 'big bang' that created this current cycle of the universe. The planets are the result of debris and fallout from this explosion. This not the result of 'intelligent design' - it's the result of natural forces in the universe.

God created the Universe and everthing in it..
Dont u read the Holy Books.
Scientist are now proving that the solar system was created as a result of the 'big bang' that is hurling this current cycle of the universe. The planets are the result of debris and fallout from this explosion.
Now the era of the "BIG CRUNCH" is approaching fast...
please take some time off and read the newspaper articles....

Intelligent design?
LOL!
You are in the wrong section.
In the beginning there was nothing.
And the lord said, "let there be light".
And lo there was light.
(The big bang)
This created all the stars in the heavens above.
And in those stars all the complex atoms formed to make all the gasses and molecules we know today.
They in time died, and their dust gathered after a few millennium to form new stars.
Our star, the sun, and the planets formed from that dust.
So there you go, science and religion hand in hand.
Or alternatively, try reading the string theory.

big bang theory
pulsating theory
steady state theory
believe in any of these theories for the formation of solar system ,or just put forth ur own theory..it might turn out to be right...

Solar systems (including our own) are formed out of a nebulae gas which coellesces into matter. This is known by studying other gas nebulaes in the Universe and their different stages of becoming solar systems.
Wouldn't a god have created all solar systems at the same time?
The formation of a solar system is a slow process taking about 1,000,000 years before the protostar ignites into a sun.
Why would a god take this long?
After about 100,000,000 years, following massive collisions with rocks and debris, the planets would be formed and into stable orbits.
Again, why would a god take this long? Why would a god allow for rocks and debris to crash into his planets and moons? Wouldn't a god just make the planets and moons appear magically? Why wouldn't a god have planets in orbits spaced evenly apart? Why would a god have planets in non-circular orbits? Why would a god place planets at angles (tilted axis) instead of straight up and down? Why would a god create our Moon from a collision with a Mars-sized object 4,000,000,000 years ago instead of just making it magically appear? Why would a god put the Moon in a non-circular orbit around the Earth? Why would a god have 'leftovers' in a solar system such as the asteroid belt and the Kupier belt of comets? Why would a god have radiation in space if god knew that man would be travelling there? Why wouldn't a god put a breathable atmosphere on all planets for man? Why wouldn't a god have perfect and constant temperatures on all of the planets?
Our Solar System took shape about 4,500,000,000 years ago. The age of the Universe is about 13,700,000,000 years old.
Why would a god wait over 9,000,000,000 years before making our Solar System?
The early elements of the Universe were hydrogen, helium, and lithium. This is what the first generation of stars were made from. When these stars went through their life cycles, they produced heavier elements inside of them. When these stars exploded in what is called a supernova, the heavier elements formed other stars. Then these stars went through their life cycles and formed even more heavier elements such as iron and carbon. Then these stars exploded at the end of their life cycles. It is only at this point that our Sun was formed. Our Sun is called a third generation star. It is only in third generation star systems that life can possibly form.
Why would a god go through such a laborious process to create our Solar System and life? Why wouldn't a god just start out by creating our Sun and our Solar System with the proper elements? Why would a god require at least three generations of stars before life could exist?
Stars are not the same ages. Old stars have died long ago. New stars are seen by telescopes to being in the process of forming.
Why wouldn't a god create all of the stars at the same time as ours?
Binary (2) and multiple star systems outnumber single star systems by a 4:1 ratio.
Why would a god create star systems that have more than one star? Wouldn't a perfect Universe have all systems with just one star instead of two or three stars?
Stars are not all the same mass. There are large massive stars and small low-mass stars. Each with a different life cycle.
Why would a god make more than one kind of star?
Galaxies are moving and some are colliding with other galaxies. Our own galaxy will collide with the Andromeda gallaxy in about 3,000,000,000 years.
Why would a god do this? Is god mad at our galaxy?
Galaxies are not shaped the same. Galaxies are not all the same size. Galaxies are not all on the same plane.
Wouldn't a god make all galaxies the same and also not put them at angles to each other??
In the 4,500,000,000 years since our Solar System was formed, man has only existed for about 7,000,000 years. What we call modern man has only existed for about 40,000 years.
Why would god wait 4,499,960,000 years before creating man after creating the Solar System?
Why would god wait 13,699,960,000 years to create man after creating the Universe? Wouldn't a god just have the Universe and our Solar System and our planet Earth exist at the same time instead of wasting time with epochs such as the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Tertiary, and Cenozoic eras?????
I am always curious at answerers who respond with 'God did it' yet they have no explanation as to why a god would create these epochs. Especially the fundamentalists who retort with 'it's all a lie, the universe and man were made in seven days'. There is no way to have a meaningful debate with a person who responds to scientific evidence and proof with 'it's a lie'. This is where religion fails miserably and sheds a dark cloud upon the rest of religious beliefs. A religion should be based upon truth. If truth shatters one's religious beliefs, that is a clue that those beliefs are flawed and need to either be dropped as mythological tales or revised to be in accord with scientific evidence. If there is a conflict between science and religion, it is religion that needs to be questioned.
I'm sorry, but the standard answer, "God did it!" just doesn't cut it anymore. Any study of the Universe and the geological history of Earth will reveal that there is no reason to suspect or believe in intelligent design. The world may seem perfect to someone who lives with their eyes, ears, and mind closed. But a true and real examination of the Universe and the history of our planet reveals that it is far from perfect.
Your question asks for belief. Unfortunately, belief in something requires no proof.
One needs to go to the fundamentals of religion to reach any conclusions about the Universe.
Did a god create the Universe? My answer based upon all observations is 'no'.
Is god the Universe? If we believe that there is a force or spirit that includes every person and planet and star and we call that spirit or force 'God', then my answer is 'yes, God did not create the Universe, God IS the Universe'.
