The only thing that I believe concerning the origin of our world (universe) is that I don't know because I wasn't there.  And frankly, I haven't found that it makes a difference in the life that I live.  \n\nI will say that the scientific approach is more convincing to me than the bed-time story I was told as a child.

There are many theories on that one.  It might be that Adam and Eve were created along with the dinosaurs, and they could have lived in the Garden of Eden for millions if not billions of years before they took the fruit, with animals evolving around them.  Or, the entire process of creation took billions of years, and the 7 days is just a symbol of time, and not an actual space of time, in which case it took the earth several billion years to be created, along with everyone and everything on it.

The Big Bang theory is the most popular one. It is hypothesized that the universe was a collection of dust and other particles forming to one huge mass, until heat and gases formed and pressure from gravity and mass caused it all to erupt in one "big bang" causing everything to project and very high speeds in all directions.\n\nOur world was theorize to have originated through this process. The debris and particles that were projected from the point of origin (now the sun) and locked into its gravitation rotation. The larger mass debris attracted other smaller debris by its gravitational pull to form an even larger mass.\nThis mass growing in size of gases, dust and other particles started to alter by factoring conditions such as distance from the sun and compostion of gases and such. Eventually providing the right conditions and atmosphere to form water which is the basis of life. From that life was made sustainable by the oxygen created by water and plant life... so a billion bunch years later we have our planet earth and the universe we live in surrounded by other planets and stars.\n\nThere are also legends and tales from various religions and cultures that tell the begins of our universe and earth. You'll have to look these up and see.

There are things that happen in this world that are above our understanding.  If we were to know how everything worked, we would be God.  Not understanding everything makes us human.

Science explains that the world used to look more like a place called "Pangea", where all of the continents were connected. Over billions of years, the continents started to separate until they were in their present state.\n\nLook up "Pangea" for more information.

It didn't quite happen that way.\n\nPeople used the sun and sun dials for a long time before our current system of time. Then they started tracking night-time times with water-clocks and similar things.\n\nBut there weren't universally recognized time systems, or such things as our current standard hours and minutes.\n\nWhen clocks (as we know them) began to be made, there wasn't a universal, world-wide time setting.\n\nMonks created the first machines to measure time, to "sound" the time for their religious rituals. (They didn't have universal standards, but varied by place and religious order.)\n\nAround 1330 he got our standard hour.\n\nTowns started building clock towers to sound time for the town (people didn't have their own clocks yet), measuring time from noon to noon or maybe sunset to sunset (or maybe it varied) in 24 1-hour increments.\n\nMinutes came much later.\n\nI don't know when we started world-wide synchronization.

A supernatural being needs a creator? You are thinking of things in physical, human, terms. Yes, things in our material world MUST have had a beginning. Where did the matter to create our universe come from? How did the first celled animals originate? We know those things had to have a beginning....something had to create/produce them.\nGod exists outside of our physical paradigm. He has always been, and will always be. That is difficult for our finite human logic to grasp, but so is quantum physics. \nGod, the creator of elements and laws, exists outside of time & space...

The earth came into existence by some as yet undetermined process, the most likely of which was a "big bang" whereby all existing planets and solar systems began to form into their current transitory states. During that process, animal life began to form on the earth, by yet another unknown process. The earth is currently in a state of transition that will eventually result in its return to the previous unknown condition that resulted in the "big bang."\n\n\n\nNow send me $5 or I'll put a curse on you.

The world is the world, and people are people. Human nature hasn't changed one shred since the beginning of recorded history. There are good moments and bad in history. But, in the whole history of recorded time, there has always been violence and war and oppression and anger and such.\n\nThe world may or may not get better, but the point is to make our own little worlds better. Our little worlds of our families and friends and neighbors. That is really as much as we can do.
