However, the rocky crust of our planet means that it must have been hot enough at one point to melt dust into rock. The cold beginning must have been accompanied by a hot event, violent enough to have melted the crust of our planet from dust into lava, yet at the same time so brief that the heat did not penetrate very deep into Earth's cold internals.
The only astronomical event that fits this description is the supernova, which according to Donald Scott is an electric event associated with the birth of stars and planets.
Donald Scott's theory lends support to Peter Woodhead's theory in that it gives an explanation for the rocky crust of our planet. In fact, Donald Scott's theory lends support to all theories of planetary formation in which the crust has to have been heated only briefly. This includes Eva Nessenius' theory which lacks a credible explanation for the formation of the rocky crust of our planet.
In her book, Eva Nessenius points to evidence that life started almost as soon as our planet was formed. For this to have happened, our planet must have been relatively cool. However, Eva makes the mistake of sticking to the conventional model of planet formation in which matter is accumulated by gravity. Her conclusion that our planet must have started out as a gas planet, although logical in this paradigm, does not explain the rocky crust of our planet.
The evidence presented by Eva Nessenius adds credibility to Donald Scott's and Peter Woodhead's position, while coming up short in light of the conventional idea that planets were formed in accretion discs.
