      There is a very interesting theory by Darwin in his book called origin of the species about evolution of life on earth!

      There’s some awesome information on Nasa webpages about this. I’m not an astrophysicist but it’s something to do with gravity pulling swirling gas and dust in to form the core, mantle and crust.

      The Earth (as best we know) was created by condensing rock and other stuff pulled together by gravity during the formation of our early solar system.

      After the Sun started shining the proto-Earth then went around it gathering up all the spare bits of dust and junk until we ended up with a big ball of magma which eventually cooled and formed the Earth we know today.

      I’m afraid it wasn’t God.

      That’s a more difficult question.

      Lots of people have lots of different beliefs and god can fit into them in a number of ways. Some people believe that God created the big bang that set the universe in motion, others that he shaped how and why the universe formed the way he did.

      However this is not a question that science can be used in here because as of yet there has been no scientific proof of some creator god.
