I see that you're hinting at infinite regression here. That is a good question and definitely something that will come out in the future of scientific inquiry. Currently we can do little more than speculate. The big bang suggests that either matter existed in another "partition" of space, or perhaps simply had existed in a similar state before, condensed and again expanded. There are many theories behind this sort of thing, look into multiverse theory if you are truly interested.
From my observations and research into these sorts of problems the honest answer for anyone is "i don't know." If you want to stick a god in there, fine, just be ready to have that hypothesis tested and possibly busted. We live in a natural world and from all observation thus far no supernatural power is required to explain what we experience. Just remember to keep an open mind.

Inflation Theory which is the currently held version of the Big Bang model states that Matter including electrons formed shortly after the big bang as a direct result of the rapid inflation. Mass/Energy Conservation was maintained because equal amounts of negative gravitational potential energy was formed to counter-balance it.
Ultimately all matter is probably based on something more basic such as perhaps Mathematical strings as String Theorists claim or some other as yet unknown form of Mathematics.

They were always here in some form.
The current Physics Theory that includes a cause for the Big Bang and where matter comes from is called M Theory. It is an extension of String Theory and it is way to big to explain in this little white box. If you really care, just Google it. The Wiki article is a decent intro, and you will find a bunch of links to Professor's sites that in turn have links to their peer reviewed papers. The Science Chanel is also running an excellent 1 hour show called Extreme Physics that goes over the basics.

Advances in todays society are a direct reflection of the hard work of scientists and inventors. If you want a list of transitional fossils, go to wikipedia, and you will find there are hundreds of fossils that have been found in a 'transitional' state that appear to bolster the theory of evolution, which you seem to have questions about.
Where did atoms come from? I don't know, neither do you, unless you want to rely on a teaching provided by uneducated people who didn't even comprehend gravity?

The most primitive living thing in the world is a single celled bacteria. There is a theory called abiogenesis which explains how these bacteria came into existence. I suggest you read more about abiogenesis....peace.

I love this.... in one topic you have some egotistical christian asking atheists why they come here to R&S (TWICE).... in another some christian jack@$$ wants atheists to supply him with proof as to where evolution started..... in yet another a christian compares god to a Walmart watch-maker that he's never met but knows he created the watch & then after all of that another christian b!tches that everyone bashes them. Ahh the hypocrisy is so thick you couldn't even get through it with thor's hammer!
Someone in another question posted this link about an experiment that was created to simulate how life could've started billions of years ago. It's a very interesting experiment! It holds more truth to the origin of life than your "good book" does..... Man was created from dirt & woman from man's rib. hahahaha & you believe it word for word!! hahahaha

Can theists answer? Yeah. They just say "God," which is an especially lazy way of saying "I have no freaking idea."
This type of question is so annoying. Yeah, we still haven't quite completely figured out the universe. There's a newsflash. So I suppose that means that all science is bunk, and we may as well just give up, let go and let God. Whatever.

is it so difficult to just say i don't know. i don't know where electrons came from. i'm not about to make some random assumption though and say god made them. saying i don't know helps people get a better understanding of the universe. saying god did it, limits your thinking. if you really want to know where atoms came from, ask a college professor of quantum physics. don't just settle on the theory that god made them.

Quantum physics proves (by real experimental evidence) that particles come into existence spontaneously and uncaused. This is the basis of the quantum vacuum, as demonstrated by the Casimir Effect and other experiments. They can even show single photons of light coming into existence uncaused -

This is not just a wild idea, it's real objective evidence in front of your eyes. This is the fundamental nature of the universe - random acausal existence.
