How was earth created considering a scientific mindset?

It was not "created" in a religious sense by some supernatural being. Earth and the entire solar system formed as part of nebular gases coming together by gravity.
Explanation:
The nebular hypothesis is our current best explanation of how the entire solar system formed nearly 5 billion years ago. A mass of interstellar gases, derived from a former Red Giant star or supernova, started to collapse together by gravitational attraction. As they did, they started to rotate and a disk started to form. Most of the mass of the nebulae (as hydrogen and helium) collapsed towards the center of the disk. Once a critical mass of hydrogen was achieved, the sun was formed and lite up with nuclear fusion processes. The other planets grew by accretion (lumping together over time),
