God did not create the physical Earth Himself. Actually, all of us helped out. Under the direction of Jesus and Adam, we created the Earth. Some of us created trees, others created rocks and still others created animals, based on God's blueprints.
That's really wild. I still like Mormon people though.
Again, you are using anti-Mormon material to teach about what the Mormons believe. Not wise.
I will give you an example: From the anti-Mormon website you furnished above it says:
God's home planet orbits a star named Kolob. Then it sites as a reference Abraham 3:3. So I went to Abraham 3:3 and this is what it says:
Abraham 3:3
And the Lord said unto me: These are the governing ones; and the name of the great one is Kolob,
because it is near unto me, for I am the Lord thy God: I have set this one to govern all those which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest.
Now tell me where the word "orbit" is? Tell me where the phrase "God's home planet" is? Well one word the site got right is "Kolob", but where is the word "star"?
Every word in the website used to teach us about Abraham 3:3 except for "Kolob" is a made up anti-Mormon slur.
What we learn from Abraham 3:3 is that Kolob is a giant planet and God uses this planet and other giants that are near Kolob to govern the movement of all the planets in the universe after the order of planets such as the earth (as that upon which thou standeth). We also learn that Kolob is near unto God. God governs the universe and he has created giant planets to help him govern the movement of other planets, (like God created and uses gravity to help govern the universe). It only makes sense that he would want to be close to the great ones and keep his finger on the pulse.
So if you use anti-Mormon literature to teach Mormonism you will never get the whole story, and you usually get a half-baked concoction that you can laugh at and say wow, thats wild isn't it.
There is really something that you can learn about Kolob that is very interesting and in the process you can learn more about God. Try it.
