      There are a few theories which answer this question. “The gaseous clouds interaction” “The Big Bang” “God’s creation” are the famous ones…I cannot ascertain how the world began but I am happy to be a part of it and enjoy it……..

      All we have to work on are theories and probabilities. Some scientists follow the idea of the big bang (listen to the lyrics or the big bang theory intro!), and are trying to “recreate” this at places like CERN. but no one knows for sure…

      The earth is 4.5 billion years old and humans have only been around for 200,000 years (0.004% of the age of the earth!) so all we have are theories that may or may not be right.

      There are many different theories the big bang or cloud interaction as Dhvanil mentioned but there is no conclusive evidence for to say that definitely one of them is correct. We don’t know yet but we might find out in the future as there is still soooo much t explore!
