[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to get all crazy with science, but men make sperm everyday. It isn't a miracle. It's a biological process. [/quote]

Yes, but Who made the men? Who created the process? If your statement demonstrate the depths that atheist are allowed to wonder, it is extremely shallow indeed.[/quote]

To quote a humorous video I once saw: "my parents had sex.... their parents had sex... and their parents had sex... etc"

Life on earth has been a continuous progression, there wasn't an instance in history where you could go back and say "now here, this is the first modern man". Humans have a need to put labels on things to identify them, it's how our mind works, to consolidate a basket of information down to one concept for ease of reference. A species is defined as the ability to breed and have off spring. At any point in the evolution of animal that would give rise to modern man, you could take that animal, and have it breed with the animal that precedes it or follows it by 100 years. What about 200 years, 500 years, 5000 years? Say a break happened at 10,000 years. But the animal at the 5000 year mark could breed with both the first animal, and the animal at 10,000 years. The point is, just because humans identified and labeled certain points of the human evolution with the name of a species, we must not forget that it was a progression, and not a sudden emergence. This progression extends from modern man, back in time to our split with other primate species, to our split with other mammals, etc, all the way to the very beginning.

This process is a physical, chemical, and biological one, arising naturally out of the earthly environment. Earth has its environment due to its elemental composition, and its proximity to the start it orbits. Elements of the earth were created from nuclear reactions that are the part of the birth/death of stars like our sun.

If you want to go back further, to the beginning of the universe 13 billion years ago, well, these are questions that scientists are working to answer. Even though we don't have the answer, what's reasonably clear to us, is that there is no simple answer, and there is no sign of a supernatural creator, nor any observable purpose/reason/cause.
