When it come to the ultimate questions of why the universe exists at all, why the universe ended up the way it did, how did the very first lifeforms emerged from non-living material the fully orthodox atheist position is this.
We don't know and we don't mind not knowing. Potentially in the future we may get to find out at least some of these answers for definite which is exciting. Just saying "God created the first lifeform by magic" isn't very interesting and we wouldn't be bothered to get off our asses and find out if we just assumed that. Everything else in the universe was created through a complex natural process so we can assume life was as well. We understand how the organic compounds formed at least that's a start. If there was intelligent design/intention involved it could be something like the film Prometheus for all we know.
