An atheist doesn't need to explain where life came from.
And this is especially true in terms of renouncing Hebrew Mythology.
Hebrew Mythology can be dismissed in the same way that Greek Mythology can be dismissed. You don't need to come up with an alternative explanation for creation to dismiss utterly stupid myths.
And like I said, this doesn't change the facts of evolution anyway. Life still evolved over billions of year and we are still genetically related to Chimpanzees in any case. Even if the original spark of life was caused by some imagined deity.
In fact, there are pagan creation myths that claim that a female Goddess impregnated the Earth giving rise to humanity. So even if we did discover that a divine miracle was required to get life started it would just point to that pagan myth as being the most likely creation myth. It certainly wouldn't point to Hebrew Mythology anyway.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
