and where did we come from?

Supposedly if there is no God, then nothing exploded into what we have now: Big Bang

Well, a proverbial dice was thrown and voila! We're here.
OK, in a slightly more serious vein, here's a sketchy, secular, scientific rundown of how we are supposed to have come into being. 6.6 billion years ago, the universe was a bunch of swirling gases and whatnot. These gases condensed, some into the Sun, and others (attracted by the Sun's gravity) into planets and asteroids and such. Thus did Earth come into existence. Earth underwent a melting/cooling process, and the time was ripe for life. Somewhere along the line, a bit of Earthly matter was struck by lightning while hanging out near a lava pool and got transformed into organic molecules, which in turn evolved self-replication capabilities. By and by, the organic molecules underwent several evolutionary (read: secular! atheist! Mother Nature!) miracles. These organic molecules are the non-Biblical, all-species-encompassing version of Adam and Eve. Everything today descended from these organic molecules in many, many, complex, vaguely specific, still-being-studied steps.
We are supposed to be descended from primates. Along the evolutionary way, we became less and less monkey/ape-like and increasingly resembled our modern appearance. However, there were several branches of these anthropoid species co-existing and inter-breeding may have occurred. Eventually, around 125,000 years ago, the first modern humans arrived. These look exactly look us, and we wouldn't be able to discern them from the general population if we met them on the streets. Thus is the nature of the evolution of the human race according to Science.
In short, we all supposedly came into being by way of a freak natural accident - all purely by CHANCE. By this token, there is no "meaning" to life, moral inhibitions are of our own creation, we are deluding ourselves and preventing ourselves from embarking on the road to high hedonism!
If your intellect can stand this insult of random events, feel free to subscribe to it. All I can say is, this is the most unimaginative story of Creation that was ever written.

Here we go again.
If your premise is that things cannot be if they are not made, then your god cannot be if he/she was not made, and who made that maker, and their maker back through infinity? If your premise is that one thing can be without being made, god, then why can't something else be without being made. We actually have the answers to how humans evolved. Any grade school science teacher can explain it. I think we even have insight into how our universe came to be and what immediately preceeded it, but we are still working on a mathematical demonstration of the major theories.

I have studied to the best of my abiltiy and find that evolution is a genious work of a divine energy (AKA, God).
Science does not disprove the exsistence of God, I believe it re-inforces the idea. This is an amazingly beautiful and efficient universe we live in.

God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) & God the Holy Spirit. The Trinity. There is a God and He loves you no matter if you are good or bad. God spoke the world into existence. He created man from the dust of the ground. He created woman from the man's rib.

Being an atheist doesn't make you a specialist in abiogenesis and evolution, it makes you a non-believer in deities, that's it. You can find answers that make more sense than the "god of the gaps" hypothesis, on your own, by doing some reading.

A complex chain reaction involving natural elements reacting with one another, and the right conditions being present to create what we are.

Wow what an original question. I don't think anyone has ever asked that before.
Where did god come from?
With that I'm out too many Xians getting all worked up for church tomorrow.

"A Short History of Almost Everything" by Bill Bryson might be informative.
