2.3 How the World Began: Geology

Version 1.3 August 2015Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (Previous Version)

These are the questions we ask in the introduction (Section 0.1.6 â€“ paragraph 9):

If god did not make them, where did the sun, the moon and the earth come from?Â How come we have day and night, tides, months, seasons, years, continents and seas, wind and rain, drought and dust?

We may refine these as we develop this Chapter.

This chapter covers how the solar system was made and how the earth formed (geology), in just enough detail so that we can work out what to believe and why, so that we can decide what to do, in our day to day life, and in the big decisions of life.

We plan to look at how we know what we know under the following topic headings. For now, we have indicated below the questions we intend to address and the main topics we intend to cover.

1. The Solar System:	Where did the Sun and the Earth come from?
2. Inner and Outer Planets:	What kinds of planets are there?	Is it reasonable to break down this area into these topics at this level? Click on feedback, or add a comment below, to tell us if you agree or disagree, or suggest improvements.
3. The Moon:	Where did the moon come from?
4. Earthâ€™s Structure:	How did Earthâ€™s surface form?
5. Atmospheres:	How did we get our atmosphere?
6. Oceans:	How did the oceans and seas arise?
7. Continents:	How do mountains form?
8. Terrestrial Forces:	Why do we still have volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis?
9. Seasons and Tides:	Why do we have tides and seasons?
10. Weather and Climate:	What makes the wind and rain, droughts and floods?
11. Long Cycles:	What are the long term cycles that affect us now?

This is the current summary of our conclusions in this area:

Our Sun and its planets â€“ including Earth â€“ and the Moon developed from clouds of gas and dust left over after other stars exploded, and now we can explain night and day, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, mountains, the air, winds, rain, rivers, oceans, continents, tides, seasons, weather and different climates.

The detailed sections explain how we justify these conclusions.
