Section 1: Modern contemporary beliefs.

GOD.

The gigantic molten rock which resulted from this travelled at an incredible speed through space and spun itself into the spherical shape which is Planet Earth. The composition of the Earth, its substances and its gases, evolved into land and sea. It was from the sea, it is said, that all life began. It evolved through various shapes and forms until it developed the freedom to roam onto dry land, continuing its evolution process to life on Earth as we know it today. If, as it is said, it is indeed so that man evolved from apes, then why are there still apes? What of the substances which were the cause of the Big Bang? What was their source?
