+Well, although yoiu didn't specify theocratic or scientific, this will surely generate a multitude of thumbs down
 In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth proved to be formless and waste and there was darkness upon the surface of [the] watery deep; and God’s active force was moving to and fro over the surface of the waters.
And God proceeded to say: “Let light come to be.†Then there came to be light. Â*After that God saw that the light was good, and God brought about a division between the light and the darkness. Â*And God began calling the light Day, but the darkness he called Night. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a first day.
And God went on to say: “Let an expanse come to be in between the waters and let a dividing occur between the waters and the waters.†Then God proceeded to make the expanse and to make a division between the waters that should be beneath the expanse and the waters that should be above the expanse. And it came to be so. And God began to call the expanse Heaven. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a second day.
And God went on to say: “Let the waters under the heavens be brought together into one place and let the dry land appear.†And it came to be so. Â*And God began calling the dry land Earth, but the bringing together of the waters he called Seas. Further, God saw that [it was] good. And God went on to say: “Let the earth cause grass to shoot forth, vegetation bearing seed, fruit trees yielding fruit according to their kinds, the seed of which is in it, upon the earth.†And it came to be so. And the earth began to put forth grass, vegetation bearing seed according to its kind and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is in it according to its kind. Then God saw that [it was] good. Â*And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a third day.
And God went on to say: “Let luminaries come to be in the expanse of the heavens to make a division between the day and the night; and they must serve as signs and for seasons and for days and years. And they must serve as luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to shine upon the earth.†And it came to be so. Â*And God proceeded to make the two great luminaries, the greater luminary for dominating the day and the lesser luminary for dominating the night, and also the stars. Thus God put them in the expanse of the heavens to shine upon the earth, Â*and to dominate by day and by night and to make a division between the light and the darkness. Then God saw that [it was] good. Â*And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a fourth day

1. Molecular Cloud - floating in space
2. Cloud started to contract under gravity, heating and spinning as it contracted
3. Accretion process starts and Protostar formed at the centre
4. Cloud is now a spinning disc. Accretion continues at various points in the disk - this is where the planets form
5. Lots of planetesimals have formed around the protosun. Gravity causes the small planetesimals to accrete with each other, clearing their orbital neighbourhoods until just the planets are left.
It'll probably attract more thumbs down due to the fact that it is a reproduction of 'doctrine' rather than expressing an understanding of what occured.

It is thought that the Earth formed along with our Solar System from a large cloud of spinning gas and dust. The spinning cloud of gas and dust eventually began to shrink due to gravity. As this happened, it slowly formed into a flatted disk rotating around a central core, which was to become our sun. Over time, particles that were present in the dust cloud began to stick together and eventually formed planetesimals. Larger planetesimals were able to attract smaller planetesimals due to their gravitational pull. Over time, planetesimals collided with one another due to gravity, which resulted in the formation of the planets in our Solar System.
Once the basic elements of the Earth had formed, due to the planetesimals, the Earth began to separate out. After the formation of Earth, it is thought that the Earth was mainly liquid because of the intense heat caused by meteorite, and planetesimal bombardments, as well as the natural radioactive decays of some of the material already present in the Earth. Denser material like iron sank into the center of the Earth forming the core, while less dense material formed the mantle and crust. Due to the heat present in the Earth, plate tectonics occurred and continues to occur on Earth.
