Welcome
Our planet has been around since long before the evolution of humanity and the many other species who share the planet's surface. Many theories of its origin have been presented over time, ranging from the scientific to religious. The information presented here is based on scientific observation and theory of how planets are formed.
The processes involved in the creation of planets are complicated and may be difficult to understand for those without experience in astronomy. The purpose of this website is to provide a brief overview of how Earth came to be in a relatively simple and understandable manner.
Topics covered on this website include:
- Creation: how the planet was initially formed,
- Development: how the surface and atmosphere of Earth have changed,
- Climate: how the climate has shifted over the millenia,
- Life: an overview of the origin of biological life,
- Future: speculation about the future of Earth.
Sources for the information presented can be seen in inline citations as well as a small bibliography at the bottom of each page.
