Formation Of The Earth: The Big Bang Theory

This paper looks at the Big Bang Theory. It examines the history of the theory and the scientific ideas on which it is based. It also examines some of the evidence proving the Big Bang and addresses some of the more common arguments against it.

The evolution of that formation created the world we live in today. The earth has been in existence for a little over four point five billion years to be exact. The earth shares a story that we are still exploring. From its colorful coral reefs in bright and vibrant

Australia has small crystals that enables scientist map out earths existence; they are called Zircons. The earth began as dust. The planet was extremely hot at first and without a certain collusion it would not be what it is today. A planet with four seasons and with tides in the ocean from the moon. At first, there were no continents they would come along later, so it was mostly water. Next, single cell organisms and photosynthesis would start creating oxygen. In fact, oxygen was so abundant it froze most the planet. Eventually, oxygen would lead the planet to multicellularity. Life would come and go many times over the course of time. This would be causes by catastrophic events, but life would always be resilient. All life evolved from the sea.

It has been known for well over a century now that the Earth’s core, mantle and the crust make up the basic structure of the Earth. However, there is some controversy over how and when the Earth produced its core, mantle and crust. In this essay, I will first discuss about the formation of the Early Earth and its Moon, then about the methods used to pinpoint the age of the Earth. Other than that, I will also expand on core and mantle formation, as well as the eventual production of the continental crust.

It should be easy to say that the Earth was created by a higher power. For a Christian this higher power is God. The Bible gives us the six day creation of the heavens and the Earth and all that dwell upon it. For anyone else, the higher power is some unknown power that science is still trying to figure out. There are a lot of theories in science about how the Earth was created. One of these theories is the big bang theory. The essay will compare the two theories and show how different they are.

13.7 billion Years ago the big bang occurred and generated all the stars and planets we now know as “space” over time many planets took form after creating many elements that are essential for life to survive such as Hydrogen and Oxygen. 9.1 billion years passed and a planet known as earth started to form from an exploded solar nebula and this explosion created so much energy that it created a red hot planet that the proceeded to cool and created a thin layer of “earth” also known as crust. After 1 billion years of the earth rapidly heating and cooling life first appeared as the form of bacteria such as Prokaryotes that soon evolved into multi cell organisms such as Primitive metazoans after millions of years many processes of Evolution occurred such as Mutations and Natural selection.

Young Earth Theorists believe that earth was created approximately 6,000-12,000 years ago by the acts of God. Per Young Earth Theorists, the formation of earth occurred in six 24-hour-days. The theory is largely supported on the interpretation of Genesis (Mortenson, 2009). They believe that about 2,000-3,000 years before Christ, the surface of the earth was restructured by a global flood—Noah’s Flood. Thus, majority of land and sea animals died and then buried in flood sediments creating earth’s geology and fossil record.

“The early Earth was probably partially or largely molten” (The Solar Nebula. N.d). Over time the earth cooled and the crust was formed. “Much continental crust, the most silica rich and least dense kind, has been produced by 2.5 billion years” (The Solar Nebula. N.d). Over a period of time and a series of volcanic eruptions water vapor was thrown into the atmosphere and eventually condensed to form the oceans. From a spinning cloud of dust the evolutionary process began and the Earth that is inhabited today came into existence according to the nebular hypothesis.

Scientists believe the universe was created by a huge explosion known as the Big Bang. This explosion mainly created two things matter and energy. Post Big Bang, the universe was very hot and overflowed with many elements that are known to us today. As the universe rapidly cooled down the protons and neutrons combined to form

A long, long time ago in the earth, what happened to the earth? How did the human being be born? Thanks to a lot of scientists, the precise fact about the earth are beginning to be unveiled year by year. We easily assume that it is hard to reach the scientific fact for ancient people because of behind in technology. Instead, people in old times used to create interesting myths that have been handed down from generation to generation.

The Big Bang, as commonly present, has flaws and breaks certain laws of Science. Here is how the Big Bang is often presented: somewhere between 18 and 20 billion years ago, all of the matter in the universe was compressed into a tiny space no larger than the dot on a page. This dot spun faster and faster until it exploded, thus creating the Universe and everything in it.

The Earth’s atmosphere has evolved since its formation over four billion years ago from an uninhabitable planet to a relatively stable, life sustaining planet. There are different thoughts on how and why this has happened. The somewhat controversial Gaia Hypothesis of the evolution and stability of our Earth is the focus of this essay. The evolutionary process of our atmosphere is amazing. The accretion from collisions of smaller planetary objects created earth about 4.6 billion years ago.

In the beginning, impacts of very large objects were very common, some as big as Mars or half the diameter of Earth. Collision of large bodies orbiting Earth played a role in its initial tilt of spin axis, the length of its day, direction of spin, and the thermal state of the interior. This violent bombardment continued for 3.9 billion years. Final composition of Earth had several crucial structural effects. Enough metal was present early on to allow formation of an iron and nickel rich core that is partially liquid. This enables a magnetic field that deflects some harmful radiation from reaching the surface. Enough radioactive elements are also present in the core to maintain long term heating which drives plate tectonics. At 4.5 billion years ago, Earth separated into different layers: an inner core (made of iron and nickel), a land layer of lower density material, and an early atmosphere of carbon dioxide and steam. At 3.9 billion years ago, surface temperatures dropped to a range where liquid water could be maintained. Liquid water makes up approximately 75% of the planet's surface today which is roughly what it was then. The most important requirement for life as we know it is the presence of liquid water. This is the one substance that can serve as a universal solvent - that is, it can dissolve and transport minerals and

There have been many theories concerning what the universe looks like, how it became this way, and where it is going. The most popular theory that people hold today is that the universe began when all the matter ever present in the universe was contained in a tiny speck and that spec exploded. This is known as the Big Bang. This theory has developed a great deal since it was first conceptualized and continues to evolve today. Many different scientists have had a hand in this.

Cosmology is the study of the origin of the universe in the sense of how it comes into being. At the foundation of nearly every culture is a creation myth that explains how Earth in its entity came to be. These myths have an immense influence on people’s framework of reference. They all come from one early source and are different only because time and local cultural circumstances have embellished or altered them. Despite being separated by numerous geographical barriers; many cultures before and after Genesis have developed creation myths that share common aspects that are fundamentally derived from variations of the core theme of a God-given creation.
