Was there a time when Earth didn't exist?
Yes, the Earth and other solar objects gradually formed from swirling space rocks and dust from old exploded stars about 4.5 billion years ago. As a matter of fact, everything on earth, including you, is made of materials that came from ancient exploded stars.

How much space if everyone is lined up shoulder to shoulder does the world's current population take up?
A reasonable packing would be three people to the square meter. The world's population in October 2008 is about 6.7 billion people. So we would need 2233 square kilometers or 862 square miles. If you moved all these people to New Haven County, Connecticut, USAwhich has that exact area, the whole population of the worldcould stand upright, three to a square meter, completely within its borders. (Does it have any lakes or rivers?) OK, 256 square miles is water, so 2 billion people will be treading water. Surely some of them can swim!
When you see a galaxy 8 billion light-years away you are looking how many years into the past?
When you see a galaxy that is 8 billion light years away, the light that's dribbling into your eye left that galaxy 8 billion years ago, and has been traveling toward you ever since then. If you just happen to see the galaxy explode or turn blue while you're watching it, you'll know that it actually exploded or turned blue 8 billion years ago. Similarly, if the galaxy explodes or turns green tonight, you won't know about that for another 8 billion years from tonight.
What are facts about on the sun?
The age of the Sun is estimated to be: 4.6 billion years. Every 11 years sunspots 'explode. 100,000,000,000 tons of TNT' would have to be exploded almost every second to match the energy produced by the Sun every second.
Which of these exploded fourteen billion years ago The Sun The Milky Way Galaxy or The Whole Universe?
None of them. About fourteen billion years ago, an EXPANSION of space, NOT an explosion of anything, began. This expansion took matter "along for the ride," and continues ALMOST unchanged to this day. The general popular presentation of the BB -- where a clump of matter explodes into empty space -- is just wrong.
How is it possible the matter that makes up a star today may have been part of another star that died billion of years ago?
Such stars have exploded, for instance in supernova explosions; part of their matter went into space, where it mixed with the previously existing hydrogen and helium. This then became part of our Solar System (or other solar systems).Note that the Universe is about 13.8 billion years old (note: that's the time from the Big Bang); whereas our Solar System is about 4.6 billion years old.
How much did it cost to repair all the damage after mt saint helens exploded?
The damage caused by the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 was estimated to be approximately $1.1 billion at the time, which is equivalent to over $3 billion in today's dollars when adjusted for inflation.
