Thread starter
 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? Click here if you think this post is particularly interesting or helpful.

No! Molecules came from anti-matter from nothing, which slowly, slowly formed things, which formed living things.
Athiests are defined as people who do not belong to a religion.
Something that sparked life isn't necessarily defined as "god" in my opinion. Because if the Big Bang started life, and it's not omniscient, I can't see how I could recognize it as God. EDIT: I look more like Lelouch than you do, Lelouch  Bimbo: why atheists say omg? Why does everyone say the sun rises ? Phantomdraco: We wouldn't be able to see it, if life started today, then the people who were born today would probably die by the time the life reached the end of the bacteria stage. Heck no, It took over a billion years for bacteria’s to become multi-celled organisms. purpleblah2: No!

You’re wrong, simply just wrong… xNeo: Athiests are defined as people who do not belong to a religion. Something that sparked life isn't necessarily defined as "god" in my opinion.

EDIT: I look more like Lelouch than you do, Lelouch First of all atheists are people who do not believe in a deity, which doesn’t neccecarily have anything to do with religion, you could be in a religion and be an atheist, at same time you can not have a religion and be a theist. Second, big bang didn’t start life……………… O2Cool: Why does everyone say the sun rises ? I'm atheist. I say a flaming ball of hydrogen shines on a continent on a planet hurtling in space. Life was supposedly formed by a lot of things being in the right place at the right time.
ThaDemon3: They would be the best suited for their time yes, but obviously, time changes and Humans and other primates got to be the best ones to survive later one. Sure, but shouldn't there be SOME missing links alive today? Not necessarily ancestral to humans, but the way I see it, there are cats, and there are dogs. Where are the "cat-dogs"? purpleblah2: I'm atheist. I say a flaming ball of hydrogen shines on a continent on a planet hurtling in space. You should at least say, this planet of ours rotates so that we may see a flaming ball of hydrogen (and other elements) which shines on a continent on a planet hurtling in space.. The idea that life originated by chance is quite possible.
Have a read of this. http://www.theness.com/neurologicablog/?p=541 It talks about a recent discovery that shows that RNA molecules can spontaneously assemble ;) New Blog: Workout schedule: Weeks 9 to 10

It was just random chance, coupled with a very large amount of time.
Bimbo: why atheists say omg? because we grew up hearing it. I wasn't always an atheist anyway, but boy is it liberating not fearing that which doesn't exist because there's no proof of. Would I consider that god... Not anymore. I don't know what it is, but I know we will someday. dimo: The idea that life originated by chance is quite possible.

Here's a recording of a speaker (Dr. Standish was his name I believe) at my college just last week on the topic: http://simurl.com/nurjor (Disclaimer: He's more of a scientist than a speaker though, so this isn't particularly intended for the understanding of elementary or early high school age individuals).
