The Bible only allows for one theory. I the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
answ2. The above is a very good tradition for a pre-literate peoples who had no science tools, nor investigatory traditions. And should not be sneered at.
The Science Story has he Solar system accumulating from dusts, water ice, and gases - mainly gases, about 4.5x10^9 years ago. We know that some of the material had been created in super-nova explosions.
The Sun, Earth and the other planets aggregated by gravity, and their present masses and positions are a product of their individual histories.
In Earth's case, a nearby planet about the size of Mars bumped gently into Earth and both the Earth and the Moon re-accumulated from the debris. This is known from the types of rock brought back from the Moon. Check for Theia (or Giant Impact hypothesis) in a modern on-line encyclopedia.
On Earth various primitive life forms developed, and there were also several catastrophes that wiped out large portions of all life at various times. The most recent of these was about 65 million years ago when a giant meteor landed in Mexico, and created a huge dust cloud that caused the loss of much life forms on Earth.
We must hope that our present activities do not become another life destroying event.

The dominant scientific model is that the Earth and all the planets (and the Sun) coalesced from a molecular cloud, also known as a nebula.
Supernovae are the only known natural events capable of producing elements heavier than Iron, and since heavy elements exist on Earth (and in the Sun), the debris field must have come from a supernova.
Clouds of gas and debris which exist in space have centers of gravity which cause the debris field to collapse toward a central point. This process is known as planetary accretion. As the gravity pulls material in and bits of mass collapse, angular momentum is conserved and primary rotation(s) begin. The solar system as well as the planets all rotate due to conservation of angular momentum around various gravitational centers.
Of course there are other "theories," or beliefs regarding the creation of the Earth, but these are not based on scientific evidence. Many people believe the Earth was created instantaneously, out of nothing, by a deity.

∙ 9y agoOne theory about the creation of the world is the idea that the first molecules of life were created by clay that formed to create the world we live in. Another theory is electric spark and a big bang created the world. Some other theories are that evolution or some unguided natural force created the world.

∙ 9y agoThe almost invariable religious view is that a god created the earth. In The Bible, Genesis 1:1 is generally translated into English as In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, but it seems that that is not a literal translation of the original Hebrew. As long ago as the eleventh century, the influential Jewish scholar, Rashi, said that Genesis 1:1 should be read, "When God began to create" or "In the beginning of God's creation ". E.A. Speiser (Genesis in the Anchor Bible series) goes further and translates the sentence as: "When God set about to create heaven and earth - the world being a formless waste, with darkness over the seas... God said, 'Let there be light.' And there was light." Although both Rashi and Speiser probably believed that God created the earth, neither could find evidence of this in the text. This has led to some scholars saying that the Genesis account begins with a pre-existing earth. Certainly, it appears that the second creation story in Genesis (genesis 2:4b-25) begins with a pre-existing earth, even saying that plants (seeds) were already in the earth but God had yet to make it rain.
Scientific evidence shows that the earth was created by natural forces and not by a special act of creation, although it is open to people to believe that God guided its creation. Among other religious leaders, Pope Francis has declared a position on this, saying at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (October 2014) that the theories of evolution and the Big Bang are real and that God is not "a magician with a magic wand."

∙ 8y agoThe two most widely-known answers are the tradition of Creation, and the theory of the Big Bang followed by Evolution. According to the theory of the Big Bang followed by evolution, the Universe (and this Earth) resulted from random events stemming from natural laws, and life then developed by random processes, especially mutations.
The narrative of Divine Creation, which is contained in Genesis ch.1 and 2, states that God created the universe. This teaches us that God exists, that our lives and the world are not random, and that the created things may be assumed to contain vast wisdom in their beautiful and purposeful design. (In recent decades, this wisdom has indeed been partially revealed, through increasingly powerful microscopes.)Evolution through random mutations, on the other hand, may be understood as implying that life is an accident, that perceived beauty and wisdom are ultimately purposeless, and that our instinctive yearning for the Eternal is just an electrical impulse in our brain.

a theory called Earth Crust Displacement (ECD)
What is the shrinking earth theory?
There once was a theory that the earths layer was like a skin, they believed that the skin and earth was shrinking but this theory was forgotten after Alfred Wenger realised that the earth was built up of tectonic plates
Does the big bang theory suggest the moment at which the earth formed?
No. The Big Bang theory is an explanation on the formation of the universe. Earth did not form until billions of years later.

What was Copernicus' theory about the sun and planets. how was it different from what people believed before?
Copernicus's theory was called the Heliocentric Theory. It said that the Earth and planets orbited around the sun, and the Sun was the center of the universe. The previous theory, mainly advocated by the Catholic Church, was called the Geocentric Theory; which stated that the Sun and planets orbited around the Earth, and that the Earth was the center of the Universe.

Plate tectonics
What is the plate tectonics theory?
The theory of plate tectonics says that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into "plates" that are determined by overall movement.The theory combines ideas on seafloor spreading and continental drift
Why do the same gemstones look different?
one theory of why different types of gemstones look different is because of the way the earth put pressure on them. According to were the gemstone was it could have gotten cracked because there are different pressure points on the earth. Another theory scientist have is that all the gemstone that are on the earth were found came from the middle of the earth. Some others say that all the gemstones on the earth are cracked because they all were one large gemstone, of different sorts ,that has decade over centuries and decades.

When the theory that the Sun goes around the Earth was replaced with the theory that the Earth goes around the Sun, it was called a paradigm shift.
What is the difference between the continental drift theory and the theory of plate tectonic?
There is no difference, they are they same theory about the Earth's crust being divided and moving, they are just two different names that people call it.
