Just because an atheist doesn't believe the claim that a supernatural being created the universe, doesn't mean that he has to justify his position by explaining every scientific theory or position. An Atheist could reject Abiogenesis and still reject the claim of supernatural beings.
Indeed. Some biologists are atheists, but not all atheists are biologists. Some are. Some, like me, are extremely interested in biology but have no professional training.
When I say "I do not believe in your god," it is a complete statement in itself and requires no embellishment and no evidentiary support. When a believer then asks "So where did ________ come from?" that is a separate issue that has nothing to do with the fact that I do not believe in your god.
Believers, if you really want to know the current state of abiogenesis research, I'm sure there are journals out there that will explain matters to you far more thoroughly than we can. I'm not at all convinced that you want to know, though. I think you've gotten entirely too comfortable in your cushy beliefs, and can't be arsed to challenge them. You'd rather play "Gotcha!" games with us because, for whatever reason, our disbelief offends you and you want to aggravate us in turn.
From this point forward, the only science you're getting from me will be links to appropriate peer-reviewed journal articles. You can do your own fucking research.
