I'm afraid you'll just have to take my word for it. There is no third person basis for assessing what beliefs I do or do not possess. I say I'm god-belief free. You are free to call me a liar but there is no evidence beyond my first person report. Take it or leave it.

If God did not create the earth, how is it that we have an earth here and we live in it? Also, I beg, provide evidence for your claims.
How the hell should I know "how we have an earth here"? I wasn't here as it accreted. I fail to see why anyone should think "goddidit" is the default explanation for anything we can't explain naturally.
Of course there is unanimous agreement amongst scientists* who study such things regarding the general story line of the earth's formation. I hope you aren't seriously asking me, a lay person, to vouchsafe their theory. Are you? That would be rather silly.
*You probably are aware that creationists have been trying to infiltrate science in order to inject biblical notions of our's and the cosmos' origins into the 'debate'. But that is really beside the point.
