Hey, will CCP be making anything of earth, just that I see "marooned in this galaxy" and "not sure where we originated from" on the story of EVE and it makes me think that earths solar system will play a part in EVE one day.

Earth is on the other side of the now, presumably, permanently closed EVE Gate. We haven't even had the Jovians properly unlocked yet, let alone anything like Earth. Assuming Earth still exists after all this time (it may not you know), the people that live on it will either have reverted back to a pretty primitive state due to everyone killing each other (which is why they went through the EVE Gate in the first place) or they are so far ahead of us that they can kill every Jovian at the push of a button. And the Jovians are far ahead of us in terms of technology so.. Yeah.
Basically, it's very, very unlikely that Earth will ever feature as part of EVE's future.

Remember EVE is set in the year 27,000AD - They've has 25 thousand years to destroy earth due to nuclear war and more. The whole point of EVE is that the Amarrian race was once a human collony. Cut off from earth it basically became a primitive society because it couldn't fend for itself. It took 3,000 years for the Amarrians to re-invent everything and develop space travel, going through a very similar timeline as from Ancient Roman all the way up to modern day. This is where the Amarr religion came from.
They then met the Jovians and where provided with a **** load of cool technology that they didn't understand.
The Amarr colonized many different planets than over the next 22 thousand years became the Gellente and Caldari. Finally the Minmatar became it's own country when the slaves of Amarr revolted.
After all this time the chances of Earth being even close to what it is now is very remote. We may even have discovered it and named the solar system we currently call Sol something like LX4-J6 because the humans where long since dead and we failed to notice the similarities to the old stories.
Don't get your hopes up. I doubt Earth will have any impact on the game. The Jovians however are an alien race, and they intrigue me. I think they will most definitely have an effect on the EVE universe.

EVE Gate is in the New Eden system. New Eden used to have settlements and various installations before the EVE Gate went unstable. New Eden is now a barren waste. No colonies, no settlements, nothing. A stargate with gateguns was added fairly recently after humans rediscovered gate/jump technology.
Earth was on the other side of the EVE Gate. No contact was ever re-established with Earth.

What backstory are you reading?
(look here for reference)
All of the races are of human origin; their ancestors entered this little part of the universe thousands of years ago through a natural wormhole. Though most of the first settlements collapsed when the wormhole suddenly closed, a few survived. TodayÆs races are the descendants of those scattered colonies.
The Jovians arrived on the scene and the Amarrians made a futile attempt to subjugate them, resulting in a humiliating defeat. They did not shower the Amarrians with phat l00tz. (23216)
The Caldari were the ones who benefitted from the Jove tech sometime in the 23100's, possibly earlier, namely the hydrostatic capsule.
The Gallente (And Caldari who were busy duking it out with the Gallente Federation at the time) Didn't meet the Amarr until 23180 AD. Incidently they also whooped up on the Amarr.
The Minmatar got conquered by the Amarr in about 22480. The Matari got bored of letting all the other folks beat up the amarr and got their turn in 23216 as well, when the amarr were still reeling from the Jovian Super Laser Beams of Doom.
The Jove *are* human. Although definitely human, the Jovians often seem to the other races as though they are not, the reason being that they embraced genetic engineering as the way to solve any and all the problems which plague the human race.
Sol System and the EVE Gate are more likely than not in completely seperate galaxies. Wish I could cite where it came from, part of me wants to say the intro slideshow and voiceover to the game.
The Current year is 23340-something, not 27000.
I do agree with the idea that earth will have little or no impact on the game. The Developers pretty much wrote that off as a no-go when they made the game. They wanted something independent of earth history where they could have humans, without having a single home planet, thus removing the 'Hey we're all Terrans aren't we?' and replacing it with more pew-pew.

The description of the eve gate says that the area is so unstable or something that you get ripped to shreads, is that true? Can you enter the system without blowing up or something?

you can enter the system (as people have taken screenshots) but I think its a situation like with trying to approach a systems sun, you drop out of warp so far away that it would take years to actually get to 0km in the fastest ship possible.

My guess is that Earth will not enter the game until it closes. At that point, the devs can reestablish the Eve Gate and hordes of ultra-powerful ships from Earth can come through to start a massive Armageddon Day, the likes of which have never been dreamed of by most players.
It'll be a fitting end to Eve.
