One could argue that certain species of animals sometimes go to war with each other or different species altogether (examples of the top of my head that I can recall are chimpanzees and crows), but it really depends on how you want to define it. It’s certainly more complicated than people would like to believe. But peace could absolutely exist without people, why do you think species learned to coexist before humans came around?

Just for the record, it's you that specifically asked for it to be spelled out. It is not me being condescending to a religious person.

Anyway, let's clear that up.

Any religion's claim to the origins of life or the world is just like me claiming to know how to get to the next train station from your home. A fabrication.

Now the scientific approach would be to gather data, and then postulate a hypothesis. So a scientist would try to find out your address, the address of the nearest train station and then would plot the proper route.

And now it gets really funny: a religious person will, in the very likely case that my directions are wrong, still claim they are true, despite overwhelming evidence of the contrary.
