Yes. Things happened. Don't YOU believe things happened?

personally, i'm more concerned about the future. there are so many stories about the origin of life, whether it be Creationism, Scientific, Greek Myths, etc. i kinda just extracted the stories i liked and incorporated into my own belief system.
right now, i attribute the origin of life as being a slow process, which is still going on today. we're still trying to perfect life and everything, so it's not like it's ever going to stop. that's the main thing every single story has in common.
i don't think attacking atheists is a step in the right direction. maybe you're asking for clarification, which would be cool. but other people like to start fights about who's beliefs are more accurate instead. who knows...
overall, i think most people, atheist or not, can agree that origin of life began as a slow process. if i'm wrong, let me know why, cuz i'm all for healthy discussion.

I cannot believe, how many people say things just happened! Oh my gosh, this is scary! Do you all know, that even with a bunch of "ingredients" in lab, all the chemicals in their own properties, in jars, etc, cannot do anything on their own. EVEN if there is someone intelligent, a scientist in the room, he cannot duplicate what we see in life, and a scientist is intelligent! But you all are saying it is possible, with NOTHING for all this to happen?? Dang, this is really telling, about some humans. People, please, open up your eyes. There is more to all this.
Captain Atheism, by studying in depth, good science, and philosophy, and religions, and balancing with logic, for years, and testing things, THAT is not taking the easy way out. Being intellectually honest with yourself, can be scary, but if it is truth you want, it is better than taking the easy way out. Don't put your actions, onto others, and call it truth. Just wanted you to know you are transparent that way. I mean no disrespect, and I don't mind thumbs down, just call them like I see them.

Just because a person believes in evolution, that doesn't make them an athiest. Only fundametalists believe everything that is written in the Bible, including the part where God creates everything in 6 days.

Personally, I believe that we, human beings, evolved from apes. Too many things in common with our primate cousins to be something that "just kinda happened". Now, where primates came from before we evolved, that I am not sure of. I don't think anyone really knows the "truth" of where people and life came from. But we all have our own beliefs about that, and shouldn't be prosecuted for what we believe in. If someone doesn't believe in what you do...so what? It's a free world. We're free to choose whatever and whomever we want to follow.

I believe that there are sound theories as to how the first life forms emerged from the primordial soup that existed hundreds of millions of years ago and that non organic compounds such as amino acids can, given the right conditions create primitive living organisms. I find it more convincing than the alternative that God magicked everything into existence-that's just too unscientific for me. If there are millions of planets in the universe then a million to one chance of life forming spontaneously given the right conditions isn't very big odds.

Nope they don't. Atheism says nothing about the origin of the universe or life on earth, the only unifying thing about Atheism is that they think there is no god.

No we basically don't. Go back through the questions some of us have answered and have the decency to read up on what we actually do think. We've given this a bit of thought, you know. It ain't a casual hunch.

That's pretty much what I believe yes, but that doesn't mean you can't make the most out of what you've got.

No, I believe it actually happened, with asource and substance that can be accounted for by empirical test.
