Earth’s Initial State (Discovered 1911)
A radical shift in geological understanding occurred in 1911 when science first suggested Earth began as a nebulous form. Through spectroscopic analysis and geological studies, researchers determined our planet initially existed in a dark, gaseous state before cooling and solidifying. Genesis 1:2 described Earth as “without form and void” with darkness everywhere. The nebular hypothesis now confirms our planet’s earliest state matched these ancient words: formless, empty, and dark before light penetrated its early atmosphere.
