The Origin of Urantia

57:2.1All evo­lu­tion­ary ma­te­rial cre­ations are born of cir­cu­lar and gaseous neb­u­lae, and all such pri­mary neb­u­lae are cir­cu­lar through­out the early part of their gaseous ex­is­tence. As they grow older, they usu­ally be­come spi­ral, and when their func­tion of sun for­ma­tion has run its course, they of­ten ter­mi­nate as clus­ters of stars or as enor­mous suns sur­rounded by a vary­ing num­ber of plan­ets, satel­lites, and smaller groups of mat­ter in many ways re­sem­bling your own diminu­tive so­lar sys­tem.

57:2.2800,000,000,000 years ago the And­ro­no­ver cre­ation was well es­tab­lished as one of the mag­nif­i­cent pri­mary neb­u­lae of Or­von­ton. As the as­tron­o­mers of near-by uni­verses looked out upon this phe­nom­e­non of space, they saw very lit­tle to at­tract their at­ten­tion. Grav­ity es­ti­mates made in ad­ja­cent cre­ations in­di­cated that space ma­te­ri­al­iza­tions were tak­ing place in the And­ro­no­ver re­gions, but that was all.

57:2.3700,000,000,000 years ago the And­ro­no­ver sys­tem was as­sum­ing gi­gan­tic pro­por­tions, and ad­di­tional phys­i­cal con­trol­lers were dis­patched to nine sur­round­ing ma­te­rial cre­ations to af­ford sup­port and sup­ply co-op­er­a­tion to the power cen­ters of this new ma­te­rial sys­tem which was so rapidly evolv­ing. At this dis­tant date all of the ma­te­rial be­queathed to the sub­se­quent cre­ations was held within the con­fines of this gi­gan­tic space wheel, which con­tin­ued ever to whirl and, af­ter reach­ing its max­i­mum of di­am­e­ter, to whirl faster and faster as it con­tin­ued to con­dense and con­tract.

57:2.4600,000,000,000 years ago the height of the And­ro­no­ver en­ergy-mo­bi­liza­tion pe­riod was at­tained; the neb­ula had ac­quired its max­i­mum of mass. At this time it was a gi­gan­tic cir­cu­lar gas cloud in shape some­what like a flat­tened spheroid. This was the early pe­riod of dif­fer­en­tial mass for­ma­tion and vary­ing rev­o­lu­tion­ary ve­loc­ity. Grav­ity and other in­flu­ences were about to be­gin their work of con­vert­ing space gases into or­ga­nized mat­ter.
