The Epic History of Life on Earth

Sorry, My original post on this got lost : ( Something happened to it... I don't know what... So I had to write it all over again... which sucks because it took me like 8 hours to do my original post...

The Planet we live on is truly unique; not only because there is liquid water on it's surface, but because it has something extraordinary: life.

The Earth is Born
4.6 billion years ago, there was a big nebula cloud near the edge of the Milky Way, where a solar system was just beginning to form. With the swirling gas and rocks, the Sun, four rocky planets, four gas giants, a number of dwarf planets, and an asteroid belt were just beginning to form.

The Spectacular History of the Universe

I think this is a good place to start my blog...
In this post, I'm going to briefly explain basically how everything started, and eventually evolved.

The Beginning: the Big BANG!
No one's sure how the universe really began, but the most convincing and widely accepted theory is that the universe started as literally nothing, and then exploded in what we call: The Big Bang.  The vast explosion generated space and time and created all the matter and energy in the universe.  Exactly how was this triggered?  Well, this is still much of a mystery, but astronomers believe it was caused by "inflation", where a peculiar energy in a vacuum of space was suddenly mobilized.  The expansion was only ended when the inflation energy was transformed into more familiar forms of matter and energy.
