I realize I'm extremely late to the party, but I've got to break me off a piece of this ignorance.
That's because you fail to understand just what "came to life" entails. It was simply chemical reactions and matter following physical laws that became self-replicating. It's not as if rocks suddenly turned into frogs.
Then you fail to understand the reasonable atheist's position. It is because the theist arguments for god fail in every aspect, every time. Given that, the only reasonable position to take is that belief in god is unjustified.
As opposed to the alternative that an undetectable entity that just magically exists poofed the world into existence, made humans out of dirt, and then goes on a thousand year homicidal rampage before coming down to earth as his son to sacrifice himself so he can save you from the things he's going to do you otherwise.
And you think naturalism is hard to believe?
I guess that statement only makes sense when your understanding of the world is no better than an eight year-old's

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
