There's not much I can say about it.
Just about the daddy/mommy love, who or what made love the first time?
I figure this discussion is endless and it's up to each of us to believe whatever they want to when it comes to it.

Just about the daddy/mommy love, who or what made love the first time? We don't really know, though we do know that there probably wasn't any love involved and it happened between two much simpler creatures than ourselves, a single celled eukaryote.

Maybe, but that doesn't mean that you can't have opinions on the answers given, what answers you expected, and how the two match up..or how they differ or align with whatever your own answers may be.

I figure originating from single cell species does not disprove a creator though.

It would depend on the fictional "creator". It rules out any character that's alleged to have made a mud man and a rib woman, lol.
Biology isn't (and isn't meant to be) any disproof of gods, but it does constrain those gods which can be credibly proposed.

There's really no creator at all, isn't there?

Not really, no. That's a projection of human agency onto the universe at large. We make things, so we look at things -as- made things.

I have no problem accepting a creator, it being a Biblical figure or not.

Yeah, sure, plenty of people have no trouble accepting creators, even the more ridiculous ones...but that's not really a comment on whether or not there's a problem with the idea.
Lot's of people believe in plenty of problematic and untrue things. I'm sure we could find some of my own if we went a-lookin.

My question is; how do you, as an atheist, answer these questions? As a pastafarian I just have, Can't speak for them thou.
Mine in bold. Question to you; How long did you work on these troll questions and how committed are you to your character?
