How was the world created according to science?

Answer 1

In the beginning our universe was a mass of white-hot vapors and molten materials whirling about in space. Our world was formed from this. Astronomers believe it took millions of years for the cloud to cool, contract and begin to turn into molten rock. Modern astronomers think that many millions of years ago there was a huge explosion in space.

Answer 2

It quite depends on opinions and beliefs.

The two biggest theories are creationists and evolutionists.

Creationists-

Religious factors, those who believe in God, would say how God had always existed and built the earth on His own. God had created everything through his power and love for humans as His own children. Creationists believe the earth is 4000-8000 years old.

Evolutionists-

Big Bang theory, how the universe originated billions of years ago in a rapid expansion from a single point of nearly infinite energy density. Evolutionists believe the earth is 4.54 billion years old.

Answer 3

According to scientific theories such as the Big Bang theory, the universe was created approximately 13.8 billion years ago from a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature. Over time, the universe expanded and cooled, giving rise to galaxies, stars, and planets, including Earth. The formation of Earth itself was a result of accretion of cosmic dust and gas around 4.5 billion years ago.

Answer 4

Here are some opinions from our contributors.

• The world was created as a form of entertainment. The world can be compared to an amusement park or a cyber game. The participants are all in it for the thrill of the ride or game.

• So that people can live on it.

• It was created so that humans could enjoy life on it forever. also too, we were meant to take care of it. not have it in the state it currently is in right now.

• No reason exists, it just resulted from the accumulation of matter in this location. The math of local influences of gravitation, the generation of heavy elements by older stars and other factors would take hours to discuss. That's the how. The why does not exist.

Cells kept hitting and rebounding off each other once the Earth was made and it must have taken years and years before a few got the solution right and started the chain of life. It was bound to happen eventually. Like a lottery, but with the stakes much higher.

Answer 5

by god

The descriptions of creation in the Qur'an are not intended as dry historical accounts, but rather to engage the reader in contemplating the lessons to be learned from it. The act of creation, therefore, is frequently spoken of as a way of drawing the reader into thinking about the order in all things, and the All-Knowing Creator Who is behind it all. For example:

"Verily in the heavens and the earth are signs for those who believe. And in the creation of yourselves, and the fact that animals are scattered (through the earth), are signs for those of assured faith. And in the alternation of night and day, and that fact that Allah sends down sustenance from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the change of the winds, are signs for those who are wise" (45:3-5).

Big Bang?When describing the creation of the "heavens and the earth," the Qur'an does not discount the theory of a "Big Bang" explosion at the start of it all. In fact, the Qur'an says that "the heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit, before We clove them asunder" (21:30). Following this big explosion, Allah "turned to the sky, and it had been (as) smoke. He said to it and to the earth: 'Come together, willingly or unwillingly.' They said: 'We come (together) in willing obedience'" (41:11). Thus the elements and what was to become the planets and stars began to cool, come together, and form into shape, following the natural laws that Allah established in the universe.

The Qur'an further states that Allah created the sun, the moon, and the planets, each with their own individual courses or orbits. "It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course" (21:33).

Expansion of UniverseThe Qur'an also does not rule out the idea that the universe is continuing to expand. "The heavens, We have built them with power. And verily, We are expanding it" (51:47). There has been some historical debate among Muslim scholars about the precise meaning of this verse, since knowledge of the universe's expansion was only recently discovered. Six Days?The Qur'an states that "Allah created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six days" (7:54). While on the surface this might seem similar to the account related in The Bible, there are some important distinctions.

The verses that mention "six days" use the Arabic word "youm" (day). This word appears several other times in the Qur'an, each denoting a different measurement of time. In one case, the measure of a day is equated with 50,000 years (70:4), whereas another verse states that "a day in the sight of your Lord is like 1,000 years of your reckoning" (22:47). The word "youm" is thus understood, within the Qur'an, to be a long period of time -- an era or eon. Therefore, Muslims interpret the description of a "six day" creation as six distinct periods or eons. The length of these periods is not precisely defined, nor are the specific developments that took place during each period.

After completing the Creation, the Qur'an describes that Allah "settled Himself upon the Throne" (57:4) to oversee His work. A distinct point is made to counter the Biblical idea of a day of rest: "We created the heavens and the earth adn all that is between them in six days, nor did any sense of weariness touch Us" (50:38).

Allah is never "done" with His work, because the process of creation is ongoing. Each new child who is born, every seed that sprouts into a sapling, every new species that appears on earth, is part of the ongoing process of Allah's creation. "He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then established Himself on the Throne. He knows what enters within the heart of the earth, and what comes forth out of it, what comes down from heaven, and what mounts up to it. And He is with you wherever you may be. And Allah sees well all that you do" (57:4).

The Qur'anic account of creation is in line with modern scientific thought about the development of the universe and life on earth. Muslims acknowledge that life developed over a long period of time, but see Allah's power behind it all. Descriptions of creation in the Qur'an are set in context to remind the readers of Allah's majesty and wisdom.

"What is the matter with you, that you are not conscious of Allah's majesty, seeing that it is He Who has created you in diverse stages? See you not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another, and made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (glorious) lamp? And Allah has produced you from the earth, growing (gradually)" (71:13-17).

Life Came From WaterThe Qur'an describes that Allah "made from water every living thing" (21:30). Another verse describes how "Allah has created every animal from water. Of them are some that creep on their bellies, some that walk on two legs, and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills, for truly Allah has power over all things" (24:45). These verses support the scientific theory that life began in the Earth's oceans. Creation of Adam & EveWhile Islam recognizes the general idea of the development of life in stages, over a period of time, human beings are considered as a special act of creation. Islam teaches that human beings are a unique life form that was created by Allah in a special way, with unique gifts and abilities unlike any other: a soul and conscience, knowledge, and free will. In short, Muslims do not believe that human beings randomly evolved from apes. The life of human beings began with the creation of two people, a male and a female named Adam and Hawwa (Eve).

The Qur'an describes how Allah created Adam: "We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape..." (15:26). And, "He began the creation of man from clay, and made his progeny from a quintessence of fluid" (32:7-8). Thus, human beings have a fundamental attachment to the earth.

While the creation of Eve is not described in detail, the Qur'an does make it clear that a "mate" was created with Adam, from the same nature and soul. "It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her in love" (7:189). She is not mentioned by name in the Qur'an, but in Islamic tradition she is known as "Hawwa" (Eve).

From these two individuals, generations of human beings have inhabited the earth. "Oh humankind! We created you from a single pair of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured among you in the sight of Allah is the who is the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)" (49:13).

Answer 6

There is no uniform thinking that all scientists agree on. There are many scientists that believe that no intelligence was needed to form the world, and that a multitude of improbable occurrences were made possible by an unlimited amount of time and that life and the world came into existence through evolution. There are also those that think this to be highly improbable and therefore, support a form of Deism or the theory that nature itself has a form of intelligence.

Many theories on evolution do not include "origin of life" scenarios. So many scientists have since taken the stand that something or someone unknown started life and that evolution started from there.

There are also a few scientists that practice various forms of religions and accept their teachings on how the world was made.

Answer 7

According to Taoism, the world was created when the forces of yin and yang brought together the sediment of the universe and gave way to our planet.

Answer 8

The world started because of the "Big Bang". Search "Big Bang Theory" on Google.

Answer 9

There was 1 giant formation that exploded creating the universe, then the gravitational pull of rocks pulled them together forming earth.
