This is a very good question because I am sure you have heard of various views. Some believer that the earth was created in 7 literal days. Some say that the word "day" means "age".

The earth was created by God. The Bible says, "God created the heavens and the earth. " In this account it says, "and it was morning and evening" many times. This indicates to me that this was a 24 hr. period.

Christians also believe that God created the earth out of nothing. This is to say that God did not use some pre existing material to make the earth. God just had to speak and it came into being. This is hard for us to understand as humans because we cannot do this.
