sorry to pull you up on this but current estimates put the age of the universe at around 14 billion years old whereas the earth is only about 5 billion years old, it took billions of years for the gas clouds to be pulled together and form the first stars (which then formed the heavier elements of which we are made through nuclear fusion). unless the big bang you are referring to is the supernova which produced the material of which our solar system is made. even then it took hundreds of millions of years for gravity to pull all that material together to form planets.Boomer wrote:WOW! that was a big bang!
Oh look....a brand new nice planet!

All the rest is just bits of dust and gas and stuff floating around.
