How did the Earth come into existence?

From the beginning of time, human beings have wondered how the Earth came into existence. Different religions have different explanations Scientists claim that a vast, dark, very hot cloud of dust swirled around a newly formed sun. Gradually, the cloud cooled, and the gas began to condense into billions of droplets. Slowly, these droplets were pulled together into clumps by their own gravity – and they carried on clumping until all the planets, including the Earth, were formed. In short, scientists and researchers have been arguing for centuries about how the Earth was formed, and the debate still continues.
