RE: Atheism is impossible, I don't see how life can be created naturalistically.

But you still must make the foundational assumption that what you see is a creation. Billions of galaxies, billions of stars, a near infinite number of environmental permutations and so far as I we know, life only exists here. Where is the design? A short trip to the poles on this planet, or deserts, or anywhere off of it and you would find an environment hostile, and more often not, fatal to life.
The problem that you have, and the problem that you perpetuate is that regardless of your unsuccessful attempts to debunk natural explanations, you still don't justify the leap to intelligence other than by asking how else? We can't just fill in the blanks with whatever explanation we can create, we humans can imagine a great many catalysts, nome any more credible than another when evidence is not required.

"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
