No, because God exists out of time. Don't try even try to imagine it, because it's too complex for us to comprehend (seriously, it'll give you a headache trying to think about it).

God has been, and always will be. When you talk about an all powerful being, you have to try and grasp that He isn't bounded by limitations. I can;t really describe it well, but anyway...

We can't just 'be', because we aren't all powerful beings. We're born, we die, pretty simple concept. We don't have the power to create. Something other than us, (the Creator) however, does have these qualities and this power.

Something, or someone (God), has to have triggered something for the universe to begin, someone eho is not bound by space and time. You say Hydrogen is the basic element of the universe, an element that forms heeavier and more complex elements, but hang on, where did all this Hydrogen come from? If you think about it, all us humans basically made up of electrons, protons and neutrons... Now, say in the event that us coming into being was just a coincidence, do you seriously believe a bunch of electrons, neutrons and protons is suffiecient enough for the creation of a living, breathing creature, that has independant thought that can feel, hear, see and taste things? Something has to have given 'life' to these 'atoms'. I just find it too hard to believe for it to be a coincidence.

For me, the only explanation is that a Gid must exist. I can tell by just reading the Qur'an. Where there are such vivid details about the formation of a zygote in the womb. Remember, this is over 1400 years ago, hundreds of years before any scientiic knowledge was gathered on this subject (and many others). How could anyone, except the Creator know of these intricacies? The Prophet himself was illiterate, and was most definately not a scientist. They didn't have the technology back then to fully understand such detials.

(I wanted to avoid this thread because this has been done so many times before, but I guess I couldn;t resist).

Edit: Something I forgot to mention about the subject of coincidence. Thinking about it, there must have been alot of coincidences to occur, trillions and billions of the 'same' conicidences/miracles. it just isn't plausible.

And about Earth being in the right place at the right time, and why other planets such as Pluto don't have the same luck, is probably something we can't answer for ourselves. Maybe God left these planets and stars here (other than the Sun) for us to gaze at, and admire his creations. Rather like a clue or a hint. As God said himself in the Qur'an, if he wants something to be, he just says Be, and it exists. Sometimes we don't have the answers to everything, and some things we'll never know. You have situations like this in Science too.
