In what order was the world made scientifically?

Answer 1

AnswerFirst, more than 13 billion years ago, came the "big bang" event that created the matter and energy that now form the universe. Some of this matrial began to form stars, but not all at once. The sun is a relatively young star, and scientists say stars are still forming.

Some of the earlier stars reached the end of their lives and died, some simply cooling down, and some more spectactularly. A supernova star exploded in our neighbourhood in our galaxy, and a little of that material was captured in orbit around the sun, eventually to form the planets and moons. The earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago.

After the earth cooled enough to allow lif to exist, the earliest simple life forms began to evolve in the oceans. The Theory of Evolution tells us how these early life forms, over an immense period of more than a billion years, evolved into higher life forms. Some organisms evolved into plant life, while others evolved into primitive animal forms. Some proimitive organisms still exist that have features of both plant and animal forms.

Eventually, certain fishes began to exist out of water, for short periods, developing skeletons that coudl support their weight. Their boyancy bladders became adapted as lungs so that they could breathe air. Plants and animals continued to evolve side by side, with neither process occurring before the other.

Humans are one of the most recent, but not necessarily THE most recent species to evolve naturally. We have begun to mimic nature by using artificial selection to improve species and even create new ones. For example, the now-extinct oryx was captured and bred, eventually resulting in our oxen, or cattle.

What we see in this is that there is a logical sequence, one which differs somewhat from the biblical stories, but the creation processes were not entirely sequential, with one creation stage completed before another began. Even now, new stars are being formed, and no doubt life is just now emerging on young planets somewhere in the universe.
