You have to decide whether you are willing to believe science, which says that the earth was formed from material from a star, or whether you wish to believe the Genesis account, because Genesis says that the earth already existed before the stars were created. You also have to decide whether you are willing to believe that the stars are enormous, distant bodies or just lights in the firmament that separates the waters above from the waters below. Then you are in a position to say whether God really created the earth just as we have it now.

Where were the elements that are found in nature formed'?

Hydrogen and helium are thought to be formed during the Big Bang. We also know that helium is formed in stars during the process of stellar evolution. The other elements formed in stars during stellar evolution and end-of-life stellar events (like a supernova). It could be said that with the exception of hydrogen, all the elements formed in stars during one phase or another of the life of stars. This though minute quantities of some isotopes that are found in nature appear in the decay chains of other isotopes and were not themselves created in stars as described.


How were the moon and earth formed?

You could say that God created them. But if you don't believe in god, you can't really say that he made them. :P And in Science, it was said that the Earth and the Moon were separated from one celestial body that its contents are the Earth and the Moon itselves!

What came first the sun the moon or the stars?

Around 400 million years after the Big Bang, the first stars were formed, comprising of nothing but hydrogen and helium. No other elements existed (apart from small amounts of lithium). These stars created the first 26 elements up to iron via nucleosynthesis in the stars core, and due to the size of the stars, much more massive than stars today, they would explode in a supernova, creating all elements heavier than iron. So the star came first. Our Sun is a second but more than likely third generation star based on the metallicity of it's elements (i.e those metals created in earlier supernova explosions) So the Sun came second. Based around the Sun's initial creation, interstellar medium would collect around it and via accretion, coalesce to form the planets. During the formation of these planets a Mars sized planet collided with Earth ejecting enough material to form the Moon. So the Moon is third or last. ---------------------------------- Personally, I feel that the Stars came first as they are the main component of the Universe. (Although theoritcally, stars are suns from other galaxy's so the sun and stars is a chicken and egg situation) Then the sun hence the centre of a galaxy and finally the moon as it is the 'satellite' of the earth.


Where were the elements found on earth formed?

It is said that when sun dies from hydrogen to iron elements are formed and when busted spread in space .the other elements are formed by chemical reaction by these elements


Which scientist said the earth is the center of the universe and all of the planets and stars orbit planet?

Pretty sure it was Ptolemy.


What can cause the spectrum of stars to vary?

Our atmosphere changing (filters) the starlight being viewed from Earth. It is said that the sparkling (twinkling) of the stars is caused by the dust floating in our atmosphere.


What did Carl Sagan mean when he said that you are star stuff?

He meant that the elements that make you up were forged in stars and when stars go nova, or super nova, all these elements are spewed into the cosmos and constitute all matter, including living beings.
