Why is it said that the Earth is made
There is a documentary tv series with the title "How the Earth was made?" It is a geological series, without any religious thought. Nobody says in it that anything is made by God, or gods. It is about how the Earth evolved. So is this title is a joke?

No. We often use a passive construction when we do no wish to name the agent, when the agent is unknown, or when there may be no agent as such.
You'll often see articles on "How the universe/our solar system/the earth/etc was made/formed or how mountains/valleys/continents/rivers/etc were made/formed.
