According to Smithsonian:
When Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago from a hot mix of gases and solids, it had almost no atmosphere. The surface was molten. As Earth cooled, an atmosphere formed mainly from gases spewed from volcanoes. It included hydrogen sulfide, methane, and ten to 200 times as much carbon dioxide as today’s atmosphere. After about half a billion years, Earth’s surface cooled and solidified enough for water to collect on it.

According to the Bible:
Genesis 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Now ... notice that, according to the Smithsonian, Earth already had an atmosphere.
Here it is again:
When Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago from a hot mix of gases and solids, it had almost no atmosphere.
"Almost no atmosphere" means it had an atmosphere.
Only that atmosphere at the time wasn't anything like the air we breathe today.
Nor do we know how extensive that atmosphere was.
Did it stretch around the earth? was it thin? what did it look like? could you smell it? taste it? breathe it?
Anyway, according to the Smithsonian, we got our atmosphere by ... well ... um ... it existed, then it got bigger and bigger when volcanoes spewed gasses into it (kinda like blowing up a balloon, I guess), and so on and so forth.
And, of course, this took 500 million years from 4,600,000,000 BC to 4,100,000,000 BC.
As opposed to the Bible, which shows an earth without an atmosphere one day, and the very next day, there it is.
Pure, breathable air; void of contaminants of any kind.
So here's my challenge:
Which scenario would you rather go with?
Some institute that says we got it, but can't tell us how?
Or the Bible, which testifies of God's powerful ability to call it into existence, purer than the air in Lapland?
