A closely related study on the time before plate tectonics "Earth probably began with a solid shell" was published back in February, 2017. It is also well worth a read.

I dunno... I think G-d created the whole thing all at once...

For 4,500,000,000 years our planet has been rolling around in the cold of space managing to maintain a molten core.

My thermos can’t keep my soup warm until lunch.

I can read, but I’m afraid this is way beyond my education & comprehension. The layers of rock along the Smoky Mountains are stunning and I have wondered how they were formed.

Thank you for posting.

>>>I dunno... I think G-d created the whole thing all at once...<<<

And I think when I read articles like this, the scientific community worships the creation.

God gave man the gift of intellect, curiosity and wonder, so that we (some of us) could understand His Creation.

I too, believe that scientists understand the existence of God, the creator of the Universe. There is no other explanation.

Whatever, I stopped reading with interest after the first “it is believed”.

Flame on scientism followers.

Your soup is not heating itself with the decay of radioactive elements. (At least I assume it isn't.)

I’m pretty sure you won’t find a better description than this:

And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

Pressure and Thermodynamics are what keeps the center of the earth molten hot.

Look at what the scientists had to go through to recreate what they think happened to make the Earth’s crust. Everything had to be just right. The calculations and the environment had to be just so. The only thing that explains it is GOD.

A hypothesis which fits several observations is being put forward. Now some other scientists will see if they can poke holes it through their examination of these observations and by seeing if other observations fit. We can look eventually at planets in other solar systems and see if we see anything like this going on. It has nothing to do with religion.

Silicate rain. Molten glass, basically. All the rain we get in Oregon doesn’t seem so bad by comparison.
