I think the key here is to explain to your daughter that people are different and so are their beliefs about where we came from and where we are going. Children can grasp this in the context of nobody was actually there so they dont know for sure.
Give your daughter the freedom to believe whats she believes to be correct and the understanding that she can change her mind anytime. Exlain that as she gets older she will ask more questions and can make up her own mind and change her mind at any time.
also explain that as we as human beings are here longer we learn more about ourselves and our environment you can cite specific examples like we once thought the earth was flat.
It isn't so much important what she believes now as it is that she understands that she can make up her own mind without being ridiculed by the people she respects the most (her parents)
This lays the foundation for a healthy well adjusted life when even more complex issues like sexuality confront her
