Claire, finding peace in religion

Thirteen and a half billion years ago, a huge fireball in the universe exploded, sending fragments through out the universe. These fragments are stars, the sun, and the planets, including the Earth. The Earth and planets circle the sun. These words come from Scientists, and many people believe their theory.

So as the earth, the planets and the sun are travelling through the universe, they are nothing more than balls of flaming molten stone. The interior of the earth is molten lava which occasionally exits the Earth's interior, and creates mountains. As the molten lava stone, or planet earth begins to cool, suddenly dinosaurs appear. Perhaps 70 million years ago, the dinosaurs died. And millions of years later, we find fish, birds, animals and humans existing on earth. The ocean contains over 2 hundred thousand forms of life. The planet Earth has over a million forms of life on land and millions of plants.

My questions to you; how were these forms life created on molten stone, also known as Earth? And why are there no forms of life on the other planets? Why is the sun flaming and providing heat and light to the planets? Since you can not believe in "GOD", who or what is responsible for this creation? How can the earth and it's life forms be an accident?
