Hang on, hang on. My sequence of questions have only just started. (Happy to address yours afterward).
How does gravity affect the formation of a planet? (Or to extrapolate, if equal force was put on all sides of a small mass of snow, would you agree that you would end up with a snowball? )

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI am an old earth creationist.
Did Adam and Eve also reside in that volcano?
So, no.

@kazetnagorra saidHave you ever seen gravity? Where are the particles? What is it?
Have you ever heard of gravity?
It's almost like magic!
@wolfgang59 saidYou do?
When I move paper clips with a magnet my daughter thinks it is magic.
So I see where you are coming from.
(Difference is my daughter will have an understanding of magnetism one day)
So tell us, what makes gravity work? What particles?
We understand that magnetism has to do with electrons particles but what of gravity?

@whodey saidGravity is transmitted through gravitational waves. We don't have measuring equipment sensitive enough to probe their quantisation.
You do?

Magnetism is connected to charged particles, not just electrons.

I was making my point to you in bite-size stages. How can I do that if you immediately respond with a different question?
The Earth is a sphere. (Pretty much).
This shape is a result of gravity (just as snow will form into a ball if you applied pressure simultaneously to all sides).
The Earth, in its infancy, would (as a result of its formation) been molten rock, a 'magma ocean' making the Earth inhospitable to life for a long long time.
This renders the account of creation in Genesis impossible (if taken literally).

in little balls, which was very nasty because when they landed on the ground they
rolled, and when it was windy and snowing white outs occurred a lot where you
could not see your hand in front of your face. That is not true of snow else where
I have lived. When I say design, I mean the whole of creation, all of the universe.

@wolfgang59 saidExcept where we are.
The fine tuned universe?
99.99999999999999999 % is hostile to life.

it was setup specifically to handle life, and it didn't take a long time. Your version
of the beginning would have several issues, long before life could ever start here.
