So you’re saying that the Earth was probably created warm?

[muawiyah]

Not really. I think it was just another self assembly job ~ stuff accreting together, probably at first as a gas giant (hence its close position to the Sun), with the rocky core consisting of precipitation out of the atmosphere as the young earth circled the Sun gathering heavier materials.

Finally, the Sun toked up, blew with an enormous solar wind for millions of years, and stripped the Earth of its gaseous envelope.

One of the last acts before "life" seems to have been the iron catastrophe, where virtually all the iron and heavier metals SANK to the center.

Place started cooling down after that with the lighter metals such as calcium and sodium radiating away surface heat.

I've always been intrigued that the "face of the deep" and "formless" appear in Genesis and are yet satisfactory descriptors for a large gas giant planet like Uranus or Neptune, or early Earth. Tells me there's more to those stories than mere guesswork ~ that behind them there's "intelligence" that is trying to impart important information to us but at a remove in time that makes Moses seem more like a local boy from New Jersey.
