your question "how did god appear?"

i must say dear....no body in this world can tell you becoz...god is not a physical thing to be found out in some event of space & time....
science says...god is energy
religion says.... god is all about your faith in positivity
software says...god is the ultimate operating system...!!!
for a child god is his mother
& for me....god is someone whom i dont know but he helps me a lot in my day to day life

There is no proof for a god, its a delusion.

The universe is probably without end using the current instruments. We are surrounded by a "horizon" that we cannot look beyond—a horizon set by the distance that light can travel over the age of the universe... "the edge"

Planets are actually left-overs from star formation. When stars are made, not all of the gas goes into the star. Some of that gas ends up orbiting the star. The motion of orbiting the star condenses the gas down into a flat disk. This disk will have small over-densities, which gradually clump together and form the planet we know today.

The god concept probably arose among hunter gatherers and was perpetuated because it caused tribe members to act in a more ethical fashion towards others of the ingroup, i.e. it served as a force for social cohesion and promoted reciprocal altruism and, consequently, group fitness.
The origin of time and space was coeval with the Big Bang, and we believe that to have been about 13 billion years ago.
The planets were formed by an equilibrium condensation mechanism as a rotating molecular cloud underwent gravitational collapse about 4.56 bya, resulting in the formation of the sun and its planetary system.

This is the question that people have asked for years and years. Attempting to provide some response, various
theologians and thinkers have developed numerous myths and stories of how it all began. Science has developed to a point in modern times where highly educated people may observe the universe and detect the movement of various objects in space and calculate their actual trajectories (flight paths). If you examine enough trajectories, you will find that many of them seem to lead back to a central point in deep space a long, long time ago. It is at this point that scientists and astronomers suggest there must have been a huge explosion some 13 Billion years ago. This is called the Big Bang theory and it does have a number of observable proofs if you take the time and energy to study and analyze them.

When it comes to Gods and Religions, there are numerous Gods and religions that have existed over mankind's existance here on Earth. Each seem to be particularly relavant to a particular geographical area on the surface of the Earth. To simply say religion "XYZ" is the true religion and all others are wrong or mistaken is not a workable plan. Each has its place in the world's societies. Similarly, the central diety or dieties of that "XYZ" religion may not be simply stated as being the one and only diety unless one chooses to totally ignore the rest of the world. So there is no real answer to your question about how "God" appeared because there have been many Gods over time and stories about how those various individual Gods appeared are numerous and to lengthy to delve into here in this very limited space on Yahoo. Many people are rigidly set in their beliefs and their concept of who and what God is, and you must respect their right to think and believe those things if they choose to do so.
There are no simple and easy short cuts to the concept of religion, and this particular section of Yahoo Questions and Answers is not really the most appropriate place to hold such discussions.

Since you are typing this question on Yahoo, I can assume that you are sitting at a video terminal connected to some kind of a computer. Please look closely at the surface of the video screen on your video monitor. I do not mean the picture on the screen, I mean the surface of the glass front. Most likely you will see a thin layer of dust which has accumulated on the surface of the screen. The picture tube "attracted the dust to itself" by various means (static electricity most likely).
In a similar manner, objects in space tend to attract smaller objects unto themselves (called accretion). And, in that manner objects grow larger, and small things flying around in space are swept up or gathered (as it were) into larger bodies. Over time (lots of time) some of these things have grown very large (to say the least). Objects which you are familiar with (the Earth and the Moon) are at this very moment being rained upon by tiny particles of dust coming in from space. That dust settles everywhere, and both the Earth and the Moon are slowly growing in size (incrementally)as a result of it. When the universe was young this accretion happened faster and with larger objects being collected at a much faster rate; the proof lies in the observable craters pock marking the Moon and the Earth.

How long is the Universe??? Wow, you wish to receive an answer to that, along with all questioning minds in the world... Right now astronomers can see objects in deep space that are 13 Billion Light Years from Earth in all directions. Now, that is not the limit of space or the Universe. That is just where the best telescopes begin to fail to provide us with any useable information. Space continues on and on. Scientists say it is infinite, and has no boundries. If one Light Year equals 6 Trillion Miles, and astronomers can see things as far away as 13 Billion Light Years, that is a total distance of 13 Billion times 6 Trillion Miles. Wow...That is a huge distance. It is not infinite, but it is really, really big, and for all purposes that I need to handle, I am going to accept it as being so big that it might as well be infinite.

The Universe is all things that exist in space. Things within space are all moving, some at terrific speeds, others not quite so fast. Some are spinning as they move through space, and some are not. Some have their axis of spinning tilted one way, and others are tilted at other angles. Some things orbit planets, while others orbit the Sun. Other things fly through space in monsterous orbits that have nothing to do with the well known planets. And beyond our small Solar System lies the rest of the Milky Way Galaxy of some 200 Billion other stars and their own solar systems (remember every star you see is a star quite like our Sun which is also a star). Beyond our Milky Way Galaxy there are thousands and thousands of other galaxies and each one of them contains billions more stars. So the Universe is exceedingly large, and everything that is the Universe is within "SPACE." So space is even bigger than that...so big that we call it infinite.

The universe is still expanding if you believe in the big bang theory.
