I know the sprit world exists.

The Bible tells us we came from clay

Define God. Each of us has our god(s). The atheist no less than the most devout theist. God being that which our life is directed. Should we say we are guided by our intellect then our intellect becomes our god. Ditto science or money or social standing or even our own ego. Sadly for the atheist there must be a Creator God simply because it is impossible for us to exist without One. There is no evidence of evolution.

@hippyjoe1955 there is more evidence than that which exists for creation. Bible is not evidence.

@zonavar68 Did I ever mention the Bible? If you have any kind of understanding of Creation you quickly ascertain that there is a Creator. The odds of getting all the chemicals in all the right place in the most basic life form is 1 E 42,000 We consider the level of impossibility in the realm of 1E 59. IOW it is simply impossible to get all the right bits in all the right place let alone bring it to life. After all there is no chemical difference between a live mouse and a dead mouse in the nanoseconds after death. So what is life? Based on the simple fact that is is impossible to exist our existence declares the existence of the Great I AM.

@hippyjoe1955 Actually the difference between a live animal and a dead one is vast from the instant that certifiable death has occured. As the time after death continues those differences become stark. Remember a human brain will suffer irrepairable damage after about 3 minutes without an adequate supply of oxygen in the blood. Definition of human death varies in different countries but in Australia it's this:

(a) irreversible cessation of all function of the brain of the person; or (b) irreversible cessation of circulation of blood in the body of the person.

@zonavar68 If that is the case how can the medical people 'revive' people without a heartbeat? How about those people who died but came back to life after the medics declared them dead? The fact is you have no definition of what life is. It certainly seems to be more than a chemical reaction. Which brings us back to the original question. How did life start? Lets be honest IF life began as a simple one celled creature in an organic soup it would have soon died without reproducing. Life forms need a whole infrastructure of other life forms in order to live. Animals can not produce their own food as can plants. Your silly premise is just silly. Not only can you not explain how the chemicals came to be in the order needed for life you can not explain the fine tuning of the universal forces that allow life to exist here on earth. Life is more than chemicals and physics and you have no good explanation of any of them. Your science is so lacking as to be little more than a religious fairy tale/joke.

@hippyjoe1955 Remember every 'thing' on our planet is made from materials of the planet. All animals (including us humans as we are animals too), all plants, all human-made things. Oh and since religion and the concept of 'God' is a human-made thing, it therefore embodies materials of the planet.

When a person is revived who has a stopped heart unless the brain has been starved of oxygen for less than about 3 minutes the person will never be like they were before. Part of the definition of death is full cessation of brain function, and brain function continues after the heart stops until the brain cells 'die' from no supply of oxygen. That can be quite a length of time.

Life as we know it can be defined many ways.

@zonavar68 Materialism is a silly idea. Yes we are made of stuff that is the same as the stuff on our planet. That still doesn't explain how we or our planet/solar system/galaxy/universe came to be. To ascribe our existence to material is completely void of reason or meaning. We still haven't even figured out what an atom is. That completely aside the fact is that if we are just a bunch of atoms bumping into each other than your 'rational thought' doesn't exist. Your deepest thoughts or desires or gifts are null and void and completely without merit or meaning. In your world view there was nothing. Then for no reason what so ever that nothing exploded and became everything. Given enough time your nothing that became everything for no reason also for no reason made dinosaurs.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. In the vast chaotic mass of potentials The Word said "I AM". I AM therefore I will create. Out of His own Potentials He separated light from dark. He separated material from void, He separated wet from dry. He separated life from non life. Why did He do it? Because He is the Great I AM. Out of mere potentials He set in intricate order all that we see and experience and know. For when the Logos (Word) speaks order ensues.
