Ooh! Nice condescending question zinger at the end. "Why are you so blind?" Excellent attitude of superiority!

"Where do you think we came from?"
You know, it really doesnt bother me, knowing or not knowing where I come from. I come from my family, and thats all I need to know. Whats more important to me is where I am going. Leave the past behind and look toward the future, in hopes of making tomorrow a better day than yesterday.
"Where do you think you will go when you die?"
To die is to stop living. I will stop living, merely cease to exist, and my family will return my body to the earth in a coffin. The body and the memories of people I knew will be all that is left of me. I cant really explain it past that.
"Why are you so blind as to not believe in God?"
That is really not a great way to get people to talk to you. I wont point my nose down at you just because you dont believe what I do or vice versa. Ignoring the whole "blind" remark, I would say that god is just as real as santa claus or the easter bunny. The human mind has a great potential for creativity and imagination, or in other words, making things up. If we made up the tooth fairy, isnt it possible god is made up as well? Its hard to believe in someone who has that much power and does nothing to share it with you, like helping you when you really need it like when your life is in danger. If there was really a god the world wouldnt be the way it is.

"Where do you think we came from?"
You came from your parents, and your parents came from your grandparents, and your grandparents came from your great grandparents, and so on and so on, all the way back through billions of years of history until you finally arrive at simple organisms.
"Where do you think you will go when you die?"
My beliefs on this subject are too complicated to discuss here, but I know where I'm NOT going: Heaven or Hell. Because there are no such places.
"Why are you so blind as to not believe in God?"
If there's no evidence, I'm not going to believe. Why is that so hard to understand?

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded. I don't really get that, but that's what the physicists tell me, and since they're much smarter than me, I'll go with that for now. Check back later in case I change my mind.
When we die we return to the earth via bacteria.
As for your third question, your language is so value-laden that I'm not even going to bother. If you have a genuine interest in my opinion on the existence of god, rephrase your question so that it's more polite.

Where do I think we came from? Don't know. Don't care.
Where will we go when we die? To the grave.
Why don't I believe in God? Because he's playing hide 'n' seek, and sends intermediaries, which requires I have faith in THEM. If it's so all-fire important that we believe in God, then have him show up and end all doubt instead of playing stupid games with us.

You a real piece of work you know...asking those questions is stupid. With the exception of your little dig (showing you lack true faith) those are YOUR questions for YOU to search your soul and answer. Those questions can't be answered by a book or another..if you do take someone or something else's answer it is useless to you since each person's answers are different.
Boobhead: You don't seem to understand much...you have the coming from apes all wrong. If you do believe that (which is not what evolution says) then you must be the child of your cousin. And from your name and attitude I would limber up because sounds like you're on Satan's menu

God......?
Where do you think he came from?
What do you think he will do when you die?
Why are you so blind as not to believe in the power of Nature?

"Where do you think we came from?"
I couldn't tell you. It is beyond my current knowledge. From the sounds of it, it's beyond everyone's current knowledge. That is why there are so many conflicting ideas.
"Where do you think you will go when you die?"
Since no one has returned from death (except for the case of ghosts, which has not been proven credibly), no one can know this either. I'll take a wild stab and say that my soul will simply cease to exist. Maybe there is something to be said about ghosts or reincarnation or another plane of existence, but I haven't seen any reason to accept any of those ideas.
"Why are you so blind as to not believe in God?"
Why believe in something for no reason? Why are you so blind as to not believe in Allah? Or Thor? Or the FSM?
It's easy to believe in things you know. I know that horses are real, so I believe in horses. I don't know that unicorns are real, so I don't necessarily believe in unicorns. I don't know that Japan is real, but I have heard enough supporting evidence to lead me to believe it is real, though I do not know 100% that Japan is real (it could all be an elaborate conspiracy).
For me to believe in God, I'd have to be made aware of him. And I don't mean the annoying street preachers who are screaming that I deserve to go to Hell. If that's God, then you can keep him. I mean that God would have to make himself known to me for me to believe in him.
Since he has not made his presence known (supposedly for many centuries, if you believe the Bible), I can only assume that either God doesn't want me to believe in him or God doesn't exist. In either case, my life isn't affected by this. I'm just fine where I am.
So, assuming your god exists, I guess I am so blind as to not believe in God because God wishes it so. Would you try to defy the will of God?

Why don't you believe in Thor, Zeus, RA,
I came from energy
I return to energy. Why are you so blind not to believe in all of the gods?

None of those questions matter.
To answer you:
1. Nobody knows and never will.
2. Nobody knows and never will.
3. Your beliefs only help deny the two aforementioned facts because, for whatever reason, the idea that you don't know the answers is unsettling to you.
