Big Bang Theory

Well... yes, that is how planets are formed ¦¬Þ. According to Physics and laws of gravity, it works out.

wait wait wait....are you saying that if i stay in space for several millenia and bang two rocks together they'll eventually stick together?

It wouldn't take several millenia for two objects to pull to one another.

Only inertia, gravity, and physical forces control movement. The gravity on Earth is massive, because Earth is massive. the gravity on a rubber band is tiny, because a rubber band is tiny. Even the moon's gravity is "large".

How do materials form in the first place? Atoms come together due to either magnetic fields or a gravity equivelant, forming molecules. The compounds/molecules will eventually grow until gravitational pulls are formed.


I'm not saying that if you take two rocks in space and smack them together that they'll stick together. Their transfer and conservation of energy from the collision, combined with the laws of inertia, would send the two rocks off in certain directions at certain velocities determined by the speed in which they collided.

Just because it can happen doesn't mean that's how it happen.

ok...ok...this didn't work out the way i planned...so let me re-phrase it...how do you think the planet was created...including water and stuff...

[DimHalo]

God created it all...

*is not trying to start a religious argument, just answering the question*

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

i think that we're the result of a psycopathic mind in a comma in another dimension

.......got anything to back that up? lol......

Okay...I think its time to school you all in the art of "wierd theories."

Okay, here is one of my favorite: (Stephen King made this up in a novel called "The Gunslinger")

Each atom is actually a universe. So, our entire universe, including earth, the sun, the planets, OTHER solar systems and OTHER galaxies, they are all inside of an atom of something larger.

So our entire universe very well could be an atom on a blade of grass in a universe even larger. And that universe is actually an atom on something in an even larger universe, and so on. It goes without stopping, an infinite number of universes. And if you were to travel to the very end of the universe, you would see the outside shell of whatever our universe is a part of. For example, you might see a huge blade of grass wrapped around the outside of our universe.

Also, if you were to walk out onto the beach, and kick the sand, you would actually be sending an infinity of infinity of universes spiraling through the air. Because each atom that makes up a grain of sand would be a universe, and within it would be an infinite number of universes.

This doesnt exactly say how the earth was formed, but it is a cool theory about the universe.

As for how this ultimate magnitude of atoms were created, I have no idea. My faith professes that god made it all, so thats what I believe.

Infinites do not comply with me. 1/2 of infinite = infinite, infinite + 1 = infinite, infinite * infinite = infinite, the amount of real numbers between 1 and 2 = that between 1 and 4, yet is also double.

I do not like infinites.

I do like infinites. I am a math student and do very well in math, and we math students enjoy inriguing things like "infinite".

Not if he wanted it done in Seven days.

I like paradoxes.

But Im not a scientist. I just find paradoxes entertaining and interesting. Like the "infinite" paradox.

And I think his name is Stephan Hawkins.

Was it barren and then for millions of years create a livable enviorment, create many species, watch them die, and then produce more through the changing climate?

If you're basing your conclusion on the creation myth, I'd like to point out my confusion about a particular part...

The myth supposedly points out the number of days (seven, I believe) it took to create everything... and then at the end, man(kind) was created. First, I wonder, are the days based on Earth's spin? That is... an "Earth day". Would the seven days include the millions of years of before, after, and during the age of dinosaurs?

I don't expect you to know the answer, I'm just trying to point out that there are quite a few flaws with the "direct" creation of the planet. God, however, could've easily created the materials necessary for the Universe to form itself.

I haven't formed a definate opinion on that. I have thought (when I was a kid) that God created the planet and the first humans along with putting dinosaurs on and such and continued to control (still continues) things to make it what he likes. However, my opinions grow and change everyday so I don't want to take a firm stance on that until I know exactly what I believe.

Where's that leave human choice? Is it God's control that you believe in God? Would it be God's control if you gve birth, as only God can create? Does God control my actions as well? That is, my questioning of God's control?

Not trying to pry, but I do not know of others' beliefs.
