Although evolution is easily provable and is clearly a reality, it does not answer the question of "how this all began in the first place." Science itself acknowledges cause and effect. Something in motion has to be set into motion. A car doesn't accelerate without you pushing the gas pedal. So what is pushing the gas pedal of life. I have heard the best argument for god as "the first cause" and everything we see now is the result of that initial action.
Well, the thing is that no atheist claims to know *what* was the first cause. They just believe that it is absurd that God or Allah did it. But, of course, they don't have an answer to that question.
