Though the creation, or the beginnning, is
relatively unclear in modern physics and astronomy, a
model beginning of our solar system has existed within
the science community for some time- and may possibly
give an example of how evolution plays a role in the
formation of other worlds and the existence of other
life. Natural selection, as mentioned on past pages, is the general idea behind the formation of our solar-system- ordered chaos, to make a more realistic association. In the beginning, we started about our Sun. Our star formed from a disk of gas and dust, and this cloud of gas and dust eventually, through gravity, became our Sun (Demon 12). As time passes, still very young, our Sun lost most of the gas and revealed an outer band of mostly dust, "every grain of dust a miniature planet orbiting the central star." "Half of the young stars in the sky that are about as massive as the sun have such disks" (Demon 12). Basically the gravitational force of the Sun on the dust encircling it, caused the particles to bond and form massive "chunks" of rock, colliding with each other and forming their satellites, until the planets that we view today were eventually formed and "frozen" into orbit- a truly chaotic but selective beginning. |
