* [[Abiogenesis]]: atheists assert that cellular life was materialistically generated from inorganic material, the "[[primordial soup]]." Abiogenesis has not been established in any scientific study, and is profoundly unlikely, given the miniscule odds of the right mix of chemical and environment existing, which are necessary for organic life.

* Materialistic Evolution: atheists believe that all life on earth developed from the first organic cells, according to [[Darwin]]'s [[Theory of Evolution]]. Importantly, they categorically reject the potential of God's hand in this process, though without cause (see: [[Theistic evolution]] for a different take). See [[The Theory of Evolution]] for the inherent problems of this belief.
