Stardust and Souls

Just some rambling thoughts.....
The Big Bang, an explosion of energy and heat. Gases forming. Atoms clustering to form elements, compounds, matter, form.
We wre created from dust. Cosmic dust? Were we formed deep in the stars?
I can accept that, perhaps, it is just a chain of events that somehow produced life but no matter how I try I cannot get my head around that all we have, all we are is just chance, that life came from non life. I can accept that our thoughts, feelings may be nothing more than electrical impulses but where did these impulses come from?
Our individual atoms don`t have thoughts, feelings yet we do.
If we took ourselves apart, atom by atom, we are just dust. Yet this dust holds together to provide us with a thinking, feeling entity. How can that be? I mean, seriously. We are nothing more than a bunch of atoms. A table is nothing but a bunch of atoms, everything we see is just a bunch of atoms. What makes us different? What makes us alive? Where does our intelligence come from?
God is the only thing that makes sense to me.
Why do we look up to the universe, look to the skies, when we think of Heaven? A deep, subconcsious yearning to return to where it all began?
I think I`m right in saying that it is thought that eventually our universe will collapse back into itself one day. If so, could this be the final return back home to God? Where it all began? In that moment of singularity? Could that singularity be God?
Is it possible that is what is meant by this world passing away to make way for the Kingdom of Heaven?
To be honest, this isn`t really a fully formed idea yet, just random thoughts that I`m trying out.
