the fact that you said "who" means that you believe that a god did so
personally i dont know how this world came about and i believe that claiming to know is the purest form of ignorance known on this earth. Part of me thinks that we are not supposed to know either how we got here or our purpose, that for some reason those are questionned never to be answered
There was something i read the other day though, about marxist theory of history and it said something about, when harmony is reached and society contains within in it no contradictions, history will end. I know that it was referring to "the end" in terms of marx's theory of history, e.g communism. BUT it made methink, what if that was what it took to end history literally. What if our whole purpose in this world was to create a society that contained no contradictions and if and when we achieved that, we achieved our goal and history/the world ended?!
but generally i just believe in our ignorance lol

Unfortunately, it's very difficult to definitively answer that. Since none of us were there when it happened, and we have no eyewitness accounts, any answer (whether scientific, religions, blended, or other) will require some faith or trust.
Science has some great theories as to how things must have started, if you run the natural processes we see in action (on earth and throughout the universe) backwards.
Most religions have a creation story. Everyone who answers this question is going to either tell you their religion's version of creation - or tell you religion is bunk and it all happened through those natural physical processes science describes.
Personally I hold to the Judeo-Christian belief that "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." I also trust science, but there are just too many coincidences needed in the random events over time to convince me that science is the ONLY truth and that there is no God.
I believe earth was created because God wanted a home for His creation. And while it's fun to speculate about the details - how long, why, specific purposes - I am ultimately satisfied to wait until I get to heaven for the final answers.

To be quite honest and i don't want to offend but we the human race big our selves up a little over this, what makes us think that us/we have a purpose in life or on this planet? why do we think were so special? because we have feelings? emotions? because we have intelligence? although i don't think intelligence is the word for the human race, just because we experience all of these things doesn't mean we a purpose, we just presume there must be but the answer to our emotions, thoughts, feelings and our presumed intellect all boils down to evolution, we and our brains have just have just evolved and let me tell you its been a slow process too, in fact a few million years but compared to how we are/have today and what we started with/as is a huge/massive difference, we will continue and will forever be evolving, that's if of course we haven't killed each other by then, science has tons upon tons of proof of this, its fact not theory but through time some human somewhere in our history must have been thinking kind of what you were thinking when you wrote this question, put 2 and 3 together and made 4 resulting in a trend called religion, he must have had the gift of the gab, today we call people like him sales reps, even in this day and age people still choose to ignore the facts, we just are, no thrills and Fancy's, just molecules and evolution. x

OK, people say that the stars, planets and everything in the universe could not have naturally occurred, there is just too much solid matter out there. Matter can't just appear from nothing so it must have been god right? OK sounds reasonable but who made god?????? Face it folks this cannot be answered. Let it go and enjoy life, whoever or whatever created it.

Earth was created as the solar system formed over several billion years. It was made in a cloud of rock, that stuck together. Similar to the asteroid belt, though it was hindered from attaching by Jupitur.
As for the other question: That is what i seek to know befor I vanish. I must know the true purpose of humanity, and see why we exist, whaqt we must do, and what our fate is.
Though Steven Hawking is taking care of that is his "Theory of Everything"

Who knows who created Earth and why - millions believe it was a god of some kind. Our purpose here, however, is simple to answer: to learn and to grow in mind and soul. Once we've discovered and appreciated all the lessons then supposedly our world will finally know what peace is like.

No One created. No purpose. This evolution like a forest fire. The weather condition are right and dried leaves were plenty and the fire starts and continues till it gets exausted. Thats what our univesre in nutshell
