A '''third option''' for the existence of life is a model for the origin of life that does not involve creation or evolution.

True atheism (an oxymoron since atheism is false) would require a third option for the origin of life (if atheism even allows for life to exist) because both creation and evolution would disprove atheism.

Although it is much more obscure, evolution actually disproves atheism. Here is an example of how it does so.

    A turtle has turtle DNA. It can mate only with turtles. Therefore, its children will inherit only turtle DNA, which would therefore make them turtles with turtle DNA that they pass on to their children, which would therefore make them turtles with turtle DNA that they pass on to their children, which would therefore make them turtles with turtle DNA that they pass on to their children, which would therefore make them turtles with turtle DNA that they pass on to their children. This doesn't change regardless of how many generations this simulation is run for. This remains true if the simulation is run in the opposite generation, albeit replacing "pass on to their children" with "have received from their parents".
