It's difficult for people in western cultures to imagine that matter is driven by some kind of purpose. There are cultures and philosophies that include this kind of idea in their cosmological systems. Matter does what is in its nature to do, and there are no other possibilities (if we put quantum weirdness aside for the purposes of this question). Stars are very massive, and the materials in them just began to come together as a result of mutual gravitational forces. It just goes on from there. The really puzzling thing would be for a universe like ours to contain no stars. We'd have a hard time explaining that.

What else can I help you with?
