How was the earth created according to evolution?

Answer 1

Evolution is not concerned with the creation of the earth. It explains how modern species developed from more primitive species of the past.

Cosmology explains how the earth was formed. At some stage, a supernova star exploded in the neighbourhood of our sun - within a few million light years from here. Supernovas are formed as giant stars die and are not entirely uncommon. And giant stars, because of their far greater mass, are able to convert their hydrogen into heavy elements before finally dying. Conversion of hydrogen into heavy elements is also well known to nuclear physicists. So, our supernova exploded and sent an enormous amount of heavy elements out into empty space. A very small part of this was captured in orbit around our sun, where it eventually concentrated into the various planets and other bodies that orbit the sun. One of these was, of course, the earth.

Answer 2

According to evolutionary theory, Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago from the gas and dust left over from the formation of the Sun. Over time, simple molecules evolved into more complex ones, leading to the development of life around 3.5 billion years ago through a process of gradual change and natural selection.
