Let me ask you...what atheists want to lure kids and 'helpless' people to atheism? And how are you defining 'helpless'? And why would a 'helpless' person become an atheist? You've posited a very absurd point of view...but that aside...
I think what you are attempting to ask is: why do we have consciousness? Why does the particular combination of elements that makes up a human being produce consciousness?
Answer: We don't know.
However, the lack of that knowledge does not mean that a person should or would automatically assume it is because of the intervention or action of a god or deity. If that is your answer, so be it; however, I can see where you are going with this: 'Since you can't explain consciousness, then you should, at least, give credence to the existence of a god.' Such a position is, of course, ludicrous....I don't know the answer to something, so therefore it's because a god did it? I hope you can realize what an absurd position that is.

You say, "This question is only for Atheist that want to lure kids and helpless people to atheism." Helpless people turn to religion; Atheists face reality head on. If I don't know an answer, I don't have the perverse need to just make one up. You don't know the answer to your own question and neither does anyone else. That still does not mean there is a god.

First of all you are obviously an idiot , and a troll .
You question doesn't make any literary sense .(But once it is put into understandable wording ) It like like asking how copper can make a penny exist . It is self evident ! ( Except to the extremely stupid .)
"... Atheist that wan't to lure kids and helpless people to atheism ." First of all this is childishly insulting . Secondly wan't is correctly spelled *want* . Third , There is no need for atheism to lure anyone . We don't have organizations , fund drives , religious events , ministries , ministers , priests , lawsuits ,meetings , conventions , schools , cathedrals , and so forth to support . And finally , atheism offers no incentives to lure anyone in . But the religions offer lots of incentives to lure children in . Christmas celebrations , all sorts of blessings for their mommy and daddy and dying pets ,all sorts of religious music including Christian Rock , all sorts of church sponsored trips and pagents , Holy Events like Confirmation and First Holy Communion , church bazaars and carnivals , and lots more !
You are asking no sarcasm . Yet your Bible tells you you shall reap as such you sow .

I do not really understand the question. We are all made up of Matter and impulses of Energy tell that Matter what to do. As far as atheists luring kids and helpless people to atheism. I have never ever tried to do that. I have never seen that happen. I have however seen over and over again your Dogmatic Institution brainwash children and helpless people.

No. i've got lived an extremely fulfilled and efficient existence, and that i'm in elementary terms in my previous due 30's. i might wager I also have a minimum of yet another 50 years (baring any injuries, and so on.) and that i think like whilst my time includes die, i'm going to experience like i've got lived an excellent existence. i do no longer ought to lengthen it any further than this is meant to be, i've got left my mark, i've got made a distinction. i'm good to circulate. honestly, eternity isn't eye-catching in any respect. Eternity is an exceedingly freaking long term and at last you will become bored, after which you would be bored for eternity. Yeah, i'm good with what i've got have been given.

I don't lure children and helpless people to atheism. You religious folk have already cornered the market on that one.
If you don't wish to receive sarcastic answers then you shouldn't add rude remarks to the back end of your question.

actually there are very few real atheists...it takes a lot of effort to be atheist...almost as much effort to believe in unprovable Gods....most Non-religious people are just not buying the whole Christian package....most non-believers are just too logical and skeptical to believe in horse apples...Me, I'm not an atheist, because to me Athiestism is almost like another religion...I prefer to hold out a little hope for god, Martians, Bigfoot and fairies...because without the "unknowable" life would be too boring.
the real question should be "what is life"....Life is pretty cool doncha think? You can give God the credit, but it's still life and it's pretty cool.
I have long talks about God with my kid and believe it or not (although I am far from being a Christian or any other religion) I find myself defending the idea of a god to him...My kid doesn't buy it and I am always placed in the position of showing him that he can't know and that TRUTH is a very hard thing to find

"what is your existence made of"
That makes no sense
"how can this energy/matter of your existence make you exist"
Matter / energy exists. We are made of matter and energy. Therefore we exist. This isn't freaking rocket science!
"PLEASE just answer the question with out sarcastic remarks."
This isn't sarcasm, just remember that. It's genuine annoyance at the fact that someone can be so ignorant as to ask such juvenile questions. In the age of the internet, this is simply inexcusable.

As many have pointed out, our physical forms are made of the same chemical composition as theists. Human is human.
If you're referring to the "meaning" in our life, we basically just find happiness in our families, friends, and other loved ones. We don't have the need of religious doctrines to guide us through our lives, and from my experience I'm quite happy and complete without God.
As for luring people in - that's what religious people tend to do. I don't know about you, but I've never met an atheist who's tried to convince a religious follower to forego their beliefs. In my experience, I've always been - quite rudely - attacked by religious people tending to think that I need saving.
There's no sarcasm here. Facts, and possibly some personal angst, but no sarcasm.

"that want to lure kids and helpless people to atheism"
WTF?
That aside, my existence is made out of atoms. It "makes me exist" because the information that makes up me is encoded into the chemical system that is my brain.
