how our earth came to be.
um after the ice age.. like i heard that we're still in it since greenland and antarctica ice sheets havent completely melted what happens? cause we seem to be getting warmer which i think is also increasing faster due to like.. greenhouse gases and stuff. so.. will we in years to come be like.. super warm on earth? and during the ice age how did people survive. infact were humans around during the ice age? can you clue me in to a history of our time with the earth and stuff? include info on dinosaurs.. stuff like that so it makes sense to me, im just 13 and interested. also i heard that noah (in the christian bible.. the guy with the ark of animals) was real and lived near egypt and there was a big flood on the Nile.. so it is a real story, but perhaps exaggerated? explain please. and supervolcanoes.. im scared of them. what if that thing in yellowstone erupts? what would be signs if it were to erupt? how DO volcanoes erupt and why? plus is it possible to fall into a volcano? like is there this big hole at the top.. i mean then why would anyone wanna hike up a volcano. and if you fall in is it like instant death or what? *shiverz just thinking about it* by the way feel free to use christian terms since well im a christian

Ok this is more for the beckyboo or whatever her anem is and YOU based on what i think. first in 5 billion yrs if we still r alive (which i doubt beyond everything cause i am a strong Christian and can tell are world is close to being to horrible and soon God will come and save us) but im sure pple would be smart enought to cntinue living after the sun dies out. there is a movie about pple living on mars where they only see the sun like every 10 yrs and use things kinda like tanning beds but they stand and they get whatever that stuff the sun gives off. anyway if you fallinto any volcano its instant death esp. cause there isnt any way to get out. i know evoloution sounds real and it is interesting but it sounds way to impossible to me for it to be true! how in the world could everything just happen to work perfectly and fit together and all that? its impossible. it had to have a plan by someone great and beyond obviously. God's exsistence before us is just to amazing for us to grasp in our human minds. and we are only able to use 10% of our brains. if we could access the rest we would be incredibly smart and be able to do amazing things. We continue to try to be able to do such. anyway how would man and woman be created so perfectly? how would the organisms create two types of every animal esp. humans? how come we just hapen to be able to talk and be so much smarter than all other creatures? There is actually very much proof ih history that backs up the bible too AND one of the leading atheists actually after everything he learned and studied even after being a role modle atheist declared that e too thinks there has to be a one greater prescence out there. its pretty cool when the bible is like a history book! haha and sometimes when you read something it connects with the bible and thats cool too. if you have more questions just ask! leave me a message in my inbox ;)
hope i helped

Wow, lots of questions! I'll try to answer them in the order you asked.
No, we're not still in the ice age. In the ice age, a very large portion of Earth was completely covered in ice and glaciers. This is not happening right now. Yes, we will be getting warmer due to global warming. Humans are releasing so many bad gasses into the ozone which is causing the global temperature to drastically increase. I read that in 35 years, it will be impossible to go outside for 10 minutes without being burned. I can't vouch for the accuracy of that, though.
Yeah, humans were alive during the ice age. They were obviously very cold and many died from the cold. They hunted wooly mammoth and cave bears and all that stuff. They wore lots of fur to keep warm.
The planet Earth started out as a big planet covered entirely in hot, bubbling lava and extreme heat, similar to the current planet Venus. Eventually it cooled and the first tiny organisms were formed. They eventually evolved into things like fish, frogs, chickens, and dinosaurs. No one knows what really killed the dinosaurs-- it could be an asteroid, ice age, climate change, etc.
Noah is not a real story. There was not some guy who talked to God and gathered two of every animal onto a big boat. But there was really a flood. Noah is just a story that goes along with the flood.
I googled 'supervolcano' and found that if the Yellowstone Supervolcano ever erupted, there'd be horrible effects. Volcanic ash would literally cover all of the United States at least a cm high. There would be mass destruction and many people would die. The thick ash would bury large parts of the country, and an enormous amount of volcanic gasses would get released into the atomosphere, dramatically changing would climate. Apparently the Yellowstone volcano had it's worst eruption 2.1 million years ago.
Volcanoes erupt because they make magma, which turns into lava. The lava starts to rise up the volcano and collects rocks and ash as it does this. When it gets to the top of the volcano, the lava will blast out. The volcano will literally blow it's top off. It is very possible to fall in one. A few months ago, a tourist fell into the Congo volcano and died.
Hope I helped!!
EDIT: The Earth IS going to end one day. It sounds really really scary, but it will. In about 5 billion years, the sun is going to burn out. So that will effectively kill all of humanity, if humans are still even alive in 5 billion years anyway. I think I also read that the next ice age may come in about 20,000 years. So what will happen then? Nobody really knows for sure.
People in the ice age were not very advanced. I don't know of any specific people in the time period, but if you google "people in ice age" you'll get lots of information.
I agree with you about religion and science not mixing. I'm Jewish and I've always heard the story of Adam and Eve, and how G-d created the world in a week, but I've come to accept that as a STORY. I'm not going to steer you away from your own religious beliefs, but personally, I believe in evolution. There's too much evidence, and Adam and Eve is just a story, IN MY OPINION.
