Nobody knows for sure how the earth came into existence.

However from science studies it's believed that the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago,

Then the planet earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun.

And like its fellow terrestrial planets, the planet earth has a central core, a rocky mantle and a solid crust.

God did not create the earth although many Christians believe he did.

The earth has been around long before god or Jesus ever existed and other animals existed way before god or Jesus or any other humans.

It's amazing though how the beautiful earth came into existence but other than speculation there's no way to know for sure how it did come into existence unless you were there at the time.

It is a common misconception that “Terra” is the internationally-recognized scientific name of the planet, but in reality Earth does not have an official international name.

The standard English name of the planet, including in science, is “Earth”.

Earth is the third planet from the Sun at a distance of about 93 million miles (150 million km).
