THE BIRTH OF THE EARTH

In the beginning God created the heavens (Universe)and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.(Gen.1:1-2)

Basically after the Big Bang, energy was converted into matter and the Universe was filled with clouds of hydrogen and helium gas. These clouds would coalesce through gravity to form galaxies and stars. One of these stars, our Sun, would form in the Milky Way galaxy. There would be a disk of gas and dust orbiting our Sun, from which Earth would form.
