If life started on earth through random events.
Where a signgle cell organism was made from different kinds of molecules that came together. Where DNA was formed from four different compounds bound together and program the behavior of the cell.
Why robots didn't evolve through random events?
Where a nano robot purely made from silicon.Where silicon is abundant on earth.
A silicon chip doped to make little transitors and diodes and capacitors.
And charged with little electricity which can be produced by a silicon made photovoltaic battery or Kenetic generators.
Embeddedly programmed with '1' and '0' through differently doped silicon (like bios in a computer).

If a single cell bacteria is more complex than a nano robot, was it possible for nano robots to have evolved too?

Day one of evolution class you'll learn that the conditions for evolution include
- Variation
- Natural selection
- Reproduction
See the reason now? Without reproduction, there can be no evolution. With those three conditions met, evolution is inevitable. In fact, it's a statistical phenomenon, of which biological evolution is only one instantiation. Evolution has occurred in nonbiological situations, most notably in computer programs, when the conditions are present.

Why does it has to be a question to athiests? If one athiest can scientifically prove it, it still doesn't mean god does or doesnt exist. A sound answer of this question only proves the atheist answerer to be a fine scientist. A religious person and an theists can possibly provide same answers with similar sound reasonoings. Also both random events and God as creators of living things may not have made that man-made possibilities to truly happen.
Beside silicon based life form, if was possible, it will not necessary related to our computing language anyway.
Plus in your situations, you dont even know if any silicon life form had ever truly existed due to natural/God cause. What is the point of going so far by asking if that can evolve? Secondly plus, what made you think an actual silicon life form is less complex than organic life form?? Nano robot is our creation, silicon life form dont have to be. Are you letting your human arrogant and pride to blind your-self from seeing the truth? friend.
Hey the God can create any kind of life form if it wants to, neither we should nor need to know why and how. Finally if God truly existed, it wouldn' t necessary indicates that silicon life form did not ever existed and will never existed, and can or cant possibly evolve. After all God (If existed) knows everythings and no one/mortal ever knew and will ever knows everythings.
In case the situations what atheists are unable to soundly explain why, it does not makes atheists are being futher away from correct. Becasue of many reasons, but one of them is creationisms amount religions are various, but atheists' ideas are even more various due to the missing holy bible, conan and the likes. In other words; this atheist chose to be for a reason and that atheist chose to be for other reasons,and so on

Robots have been around, even very liberally speaking, for 100 years. Evolution took hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years to start. It is entirely possible that robots will evolve one day - in fact it is PROBABLE that they will. What better way to design a robot for a set of circumstances than to let it design itself?
Evolution in robots may already BE occuring, it's just the changes are so tiny that they're impossible to notice, or are just put down to 'bugs'.
However, there is one very important distinction between robots and even the simplest form of life - life wants to replicate, and robots (currently) do not and for the most part cannot. Therefore even if a robot did stumble upon something which made it function better it wouldn't be passed on to any other robots, because that robot doesn't design or build any further robots with that 'genetic' change.

Evolution can only occur when a species is capable of reproducing itself to pass on genetic changes. I have yet to hear of robots mating and producing offspring or going through any sort of asexual reproduction and they don't have DNA. It took billions of years for evolution to take us to where we are and the conditions that life originally would have arisen in are far different. The analogy between robots and bacteria is not an accurate picture.

Well, you start right off with two unsubstantiated assertions...
* life started on earth...
* (life started)... through random events
We do not know either one of those assertions to be true. Since everything else that you wrote depends from those two unsubstantiated assertions, it is just so much nonsense, Of course, there are plenty of OTHER reasons why it is nonsense... but there is really no reason to go into them, since you destroyed your argument so thoroughly in the very first sentence.
Please try again.
Thank you for playing.
Next.

Bonds to Carbon are stronger than bonds to Silicon. It would be extremely difficult to put together a 100,000 amino acid chain using silicon.

Silicon is inorganic I believe, inanimate if you like. It works in nano technology because we design it to. It's just a case of evidence not theory.

a robot can only do as much as the creator programs it to, thats why artificial intelligence will most likely never work, its a completly different topic to evolution

The reason is simple, a cell is organic and a robot is inorganic.

Do I really have to point out that silicon chips don't occur naturally whereas aminoacids do?
