1. Man cannot create matter from nothing.
Even if it never happen and matter/energy have always existed in the same quantities as today in some form or another, this is not evidence for the existence of God.
And who created this thing that created the big bang? Either God came from nothing or it always existed and the first cause problem makes no sense. So why assume the middle man? Either reality came from nothing or it always existed. If I'm not mistaken, some views of the big bang hold that time itself emerged with it.
2. Who/what created the Big Bang? Everything has a beginning/source, therefore something/someone created this mass of matter.
We know how chemical compounds can originate living cells. There are many possible pathways for the arisal of the biochemical complexity cells have today, although we don't know for sure which one actually happened. There is no misterious supernatural origin in it. Several of these steps can be reproduced in lab. They occur on its own when the right conditions are presented.
3. Who/what gives life to our physical body? What gives it free-will, conscience, and emotions? Where do they come from, and how do they function the way they do?[quote] Nothing. Vitalism isn't really required to explain how we function. What we know about the purely physical behavior of matter does it just fine.[quote]
4. Man cannot procreate life from nothing. Who/what created the one-celled organisms?
And again, just because we can't do something doesn't mean it didnt' happen naturally on its own. We can't create stars or planets either, but their formation process is well understood and requires no supernatural explanation.
