Well from what I gather OP is not so much interested in process how Earth started but rather why cling to any explanation. Why choose scientific explanation rather then some religious and that is again question that could be rephrased as "What is reality?" which is again the question that has been the core of the something like every other topic started by religious people on the forum.
And like I said before to those people, read "Magic of reality" by R. Dawkins.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
