Earth: Its Begining

How Did The Earth Begin ?

★ The current theory of How the EARTH and other solar system formed is that it originated Back in the mists of time ___ Over 6,000 million years ago, as a cold cloud of gas and dust floating in Space. Even now, such clouds ___ called nebulae___ can be seen through astronomical telescopes.
★  At first , gravitational attraction caused the particles of nebulae to clump together and form a mass at the center. As the cloud contracted it began to spin, and centrifugal action flattened it out into a disc.
★ The  bulk of the gas and dust concentrated at the center and began to heat up. Then the ancestral Sun formed and it began to radiate energy to the rest of the solar system.
The disc of material around the embryo sun began to split up into rings and the matter or the rings. Accumulated into lumps. These were to form the planets, and the other solar system bodies.

 A GOOD ESTIMATE FOR THE TIME 

★ The Earth began at 9 am on 23 October 4004BC. These were the findings of Archbishop James Ussher (1581 - 1656), Archbishop of Armagh from 1625, who worked back from the dates in the Bible to find the actual time of the Creation as described in the book of Genesis. This figure was inserted as a footnote in the Authorized Version of the Bible until the nineteenth century.
