Actually atheist stance is "I don't know". Also it's not over because part of us does live if we have descendants as genes and sometimes even memories. Like instincts, they are sort of memories of our ancestors.

What else is it product of? Kidneys? I mean if you look at computer it has only the hard parts in it and yet it does create form of intelligence and one day people will probably create a conscious computer.

Did you find something in the universe that can't be run without god? And I think it's so strange that religious people cling to creation, that it must be exclusively god's work, when in past almost everything was "explained" as working of some god. Like the wind - people used to believe that there is a giant god blowing wind with his lips and lungs and yet every religious person is happy with rational explanation of wind. They don't insist it must be god's deed. They don't say when every time someone turns on ventilator that he is playing god. Why is that?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
