@RemovedUsername676164 [quote]Then who or what made the earth and the universe??[/quote]
Whatever it was leaves the question of who or what made that, and so on [i]ad inifinitum[/i].
[quote]The universe had a a beginning ,so something set it in motion.[/quote]
We can trace back to a little after the beginning of spacetime but that doesn't mean the universe had a beginning. Nor is there a need for something of unknown origin to set it in motion.

@Sharon so nothing created everything?
Yes there is a known beginning,and the universe is still expanding.
Someone put the earth in the precise spot to be the perfect distance from the sun ,and further we'd freeze and any closer we'd cook.

@RemovedUsername676164 that's just because we evolved under those conditions. There could easily be life that survives a different atmosphere. We're tardigrades.

That's a creationist idea. Not one I accept.

Not quite, there is a known beginning of [b]spacetime[/b]. That was when the quantum singularity went through a period of "inflation" and then continued expanding.

So where did that "someone" come from? Life on Earth, as we know it, evolved to fit the environment. Different forms of life would have evolved if the environment were different. For example, radiophiles and extremephiles live in conditions that would be lethal to most other organisms. At a very simple level, even fish thrive in an environment that often proves fatal to humans and other land animals. Also there are billions of other planets that are totally unsuitable for us to live. What is their purpose?
