I have a question for atheists. You believe that "something" sparked life right? Would you consider that a God, because in religious terms, that is a God? Or do you believe that life just appeared out of nowhere?

Even if evolution existed, which is probably the case, there must be something or someone that sparked evolution. For example, we all learned about spontaneous generation in ninth grade; it's virtually impossible to create life from non-life.

So, my question is: We all know something must have sparked life. Is that God?

Side-question: Is it even possible to consider yourself an atheist with that knowledge?

I believe that we have yet to prove how life began, and personally, I don't care. If someone gives me a legitimate answer, I'll accept it.

Well, with our body of knowledge, we know that life couldn't have just "began". Life cannot come from non-life.

So.. my question is.. do atheists believe something that sparked life? If so, would that be considered a God?

No (not an Atheist, but still understands the mentallity), as a God is not merely a creator, but a supernatural intermediary between the spiritual and physical.

since God is in past future and present and how Scientists say that the unverse was made in over a billion years?

WHAT IF?

those billions of years were just 7 days for God?

Well obviously, something had to have happened. I assume many atheists believe in the Big Bang Theory, but I just find it easier not to question.

well you also shouldn't generalize all atheists. How like there are the christians that go to church and bum and then there are the Christians that actually do something with their life. There are different types here and there

Don't be silly. You can most definitely form organic molecules from two inorganic molecules. Just look at urea.

NH3 + CO2 <-> H2N-COONH4

Now, I'm not saying that early life was based on pee, but that reaction is just an example. All that early life was was the natural movement of organic molecules working together. Osmosis, diffusion, etc. Eventually, it formed into more grander things like DNA and multi-celled organisms, but you have to consider that this is over BILLIONS and hundreds of millions of years. You're thinking of spontaneous generation as "poof here's a human", which is how religion looks at it...that's not what spontaneous generation is at all.

Big Bang? That's a theory, nothing more.

Must it be true, there must be something or someone that sparked it. Like I said earlier, you can't have something just happen.
