The origin of the world is unknown.
When geological time begins, some short thousand million years ago, the earth is already a globe, in shape if not in surface much as now, whirling around a star little different if at all from our sun today; a body with its given size and substance, its allotted place and path in heaven. How it came there is unknown.
Knowing nothing, Man has variously and valiantly guessed. Seven chief guesses jostle for primacy.
