No one is denying a beginning around here and no one is asserting a beginning either. FACT IS - no one knows - When I say "KNOW" I mean with certainty. What we do know is that the elements of life - amino acids - can come from inorganic matter. What we do know is that there is no evidence at all for the existence of a God or gods. Magical flying sky daddy is just a made up story with no more evidence supporting it than magical Santa Clause, magical leprechauns, or magical blue universe creating bunny rabbits. FACT - NO one knows... Any assertion at all about the origin of life needs evidence.

There are many competing theories.
Life from clay.
Life from volcanic vents.
Life from lightening spark.
Life from sulfur pools.
Life from asteroids or meteorites.
And others.

What we KNOW from studying extremophiles is that life has a way of happening in some to the most uninhabitable places we could ever imagine. Life in the radioactive water of Nuclear Generators for example. Life without sunlight under the Arctic ice. Life without oxygen, Life in acid, and so much more. Life is not what we think it is.

This universe is really bizarre and life is just not what we think it is. How it got here is anyone's guess but there are a hell of a lot more facts leading up to any of the theories listed above than there are to a magical creator being.

"has anyone said that life seems impossible"

Life is axiomatically possible.

@Philos_Tone

The fact that there is life negates your statement. We may not know the instant life began, but it sure had a beginning.

Not only is 100% certainty an epistemological impossibility, when someone asserts they are 100% certain they are declaring themselves to be as closed minded as it is possible to get.

I don't believe any deity or deities exist, because no objective evidence has ever been demonstrated for one. What is more it is an objective fact that human beings create fictional deities, and build religions around that belief. I don't need certainty to disbelieve something, a lack of sufficient evidence will do, once there is sufficient objective empirical evidence I am inclined to believe something. The pinnacle of scientific explanations achieve this, and these are scientific theories.

We know it is impossible to create yourself, and everything else, from nothing. That is proven fact.

Ehh. It's an assumption, not a proven fact.
And it's beginning to look like that may not actually be the case at all.

I don't think you know what proven fact means, as you seem to be throwing the phrase around like Justin Bieber on his first night in prison.

If you are going to claim a deity does not exist as a proven fact you cannot extrapolate it from other unevidenced claims, simply by asserting they also are proven facts.

You may say we don't know if something is possible or not, you may not say it is impossible without first defining what a deity is and how it is claimed to have created everything. No theist or religious apologist has even remotely done this that I am aware of. Thus I don't believe the claim, but I cannot assert whether it is possible or not, let alone claim it's impossibility is a "proven fact", This just sounds like runaway hubris to me sorry. In fact it is the kind of unevidenced hubris that theists and religious apologists so often are guilty of using.

It makes no difference where the clay came from in regards to the origin of life. None at all. The clay was here for billions of years before life. You do not have to ask were it came from to understand the emergence of life. The universe is 13.8 billion years old. Life is possibly 4 billion years old. The oldest animals may be sponges and they are aged at 660 million years ago. The oldest human species logs in at
1.8 to 1.3 million years ago. No one needs to know ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT CLAY to discuss where life came from. It makes perfect sense to discuss any of the theories above and no sense at all to talk about a magical creator being who took 13.8 billion years to make a man. (NOW THAT IS JUST STUPID.)

Absolutely nothing penetrates atmosphere we are a completely closed system, well, except for the gamma rays. Only the gamma rays can penetrate the atmosphere of the earth. Just gamma rays and ... well ..... ultraviolet waves of light energy. But aside from the gamma rays and the ultraviolet waves of light energy nothing at all penetrates the earth's atmosphere aside from an occasional meteorite. Yes, okay, some meteorites have come from the deepest regions of space and had life shattering consequences for this planet and may even be the cause of life on this little isolated system but aside from the meteorites, the ultraviolet waves of light, the gamma rays and the infrared waves of invisible heat, nothing can penetrate this closed system that is protected by the atmosphere. That's it and nothing more. Just gamma rays, meteorites, ultraviolet waves of light energy, infrared waves of invisible heat, and neutrinos. Yea that's right, I nearly forgot the neutrinos. They come down and pass right through us and right through the earth and we have no idea if they have any sort of effect so we can basically ignore them in this little closed system of ours. So aside from the gamma rays, meteorites, ultraviolet waves of light energy, infrared waves of invisible heat, and neutrinos, NOTHING can penetrate this protective shield of atmosphere around our planet unless it is just common space dust. Every day, dust from meteorites, comets, and other 4.6 billion-year-old pieces of our solar system fall into the earth's atmosphere. But dust is not harmful so it really does not count. We are still a closed system where only gamma rays, meteorites, ultraviolet waves of light energy, infrared waves of invisible heat, neutrinos and space dust penetrate out atmosphere along with a few x-rays. Yea there are x-rays out there and they come through here but we don't really notice them so we can just set them aside along with the gamma rays, meteorites, ultraviolet waves of light energy, infrared waves of invisible heat, neutrinos, and space dust .... and solar radiation too. Don't forget solar radiation. Solar radiation can pop right on through that atmosphere and visit for a short time. But aside from the gamma rays, meteorites, ultraviolet waves of light energy, infrared waves of invisible heat, and neutrinos, common space dust, solar radiation and a bunch of other stuff. We live in a frigging closes system and nothing can get to us.
