Secular scientists believe that the creation of earth is tied to the formation of the solar system. “According to Dai Wensai’s nebular hypothesis‚ the formation of the Earth was closely related to the formation of the solar system‚ which can be described as primordial nebular-protoplanetary disckonisphere-planetesimal-planet” (Wang and Geng‚ 2015‚ p. 3530). In addition‚ the nebular viewpoint shows the solar system and earth being created by a cloud of dust from the energy of circulation and gas. This

Annalee Newitz We have no direct evidence (yet) that there is life on other planets‚ moons‚ or in interstellar space. Nevertheless‚ there are some compelling reasons to believe that eventually we will discover some‚ perhaps even in our own solar system. Here are seven reasons why scientists believe that life is out there‚ just waiting to meet us. It might not be green-skinned ladies in silver saucers‚ but it will be alien. 1. Extremophiles on Earth One of the big questions is whether life could
