Here we go again ....
The solar system started out as a big cloud of spinning dust and gas and ice. As the dust spun, it bumped into other dust, forming balls of dust. A big bunch of dust condensed into a star under it's own gravity (lots of matter does that), and the remaining dust formed planets through accretion. This is a very simplistic picture, but well-supported through observations. Stars began as big clouds of dust (and end that way too).
If your religion wants you to reject science, I'd look into this religion a bit more. Science gave you medicine and TV and computers and cars and air conditioning. It can't all be wrong if we get so much out of it, right?

Any theory intended to explain the origin and development of the universe must account for the system as it is today. What we believe is based on observations of the sun, stars, and planets. Scientists have observed planet Earth and through telescope and space probes, other planets in the solar system. They have charted galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Based on these observations, astronomers attempt to describe the universe and to figure out how long it took to reach its present state.
The current estimate for the age of the universe is between 10 and 20 billion years. Because people have been making and recording careful observations for only about a thousand years, the time spent in observation is an extremely small fraction of the total time involved. In spite of its limitation, astronomers have been able to develop hypotheses about the universe.

After the Big Bang, gravity kicked in to prefer grouped masses. Thus solar systems were made from swirling cosmic masses. The most mass again grouped together to make the sun. The rest were not enough to make another star and so developed and broke off into planets, moons, asteroids, etc.
Hey look, a solar system.
Read the language of god or a similar book to see the compatibality of science and religion. Personally, I do not depend on religion for most scientific matters such as Big Bang.

Why would you say that?
It implies that you think that God can't or won't start a Big Bang and simply let the it run for 14 billion years to get to where the universe is at present.
