Now how did that primordial soup contain life?? Some of us just don’t have enough Faith to believe in evolution/Atheism.

Pray for W, America and Our Troops

The science of evolution doesn't even address the actual origin of life, nor does it weigh in on the existence of God. You can easily accept evolution, believe that God started life, and He designed the process whereby His creation transformed itself into its present glory.

Evolution only addresses the transformation.

The only reason why evolution is commonly thought to be either atheistic or deny God's role in the creation of life is that it is contrary to accounts contained in the first two chapters of the Bible. But it's contrary only if you require Genesis to be literally true instead of an allegory.

The facts on (and actually in) the ground don't support a literal interpretation. If all plant and animal species were created within a week, then the fossils of them should be found in every age and layer of rock conducive to fossilization. But you don't. You won't find a giraffe in Cambrian rocks. You never find a dog or ape in Devonian rocks. Instead, you find things which don't exist today but look as if they're related. Some aren't and appear to be dead ends.

Nevertheless, nothing regarding evolution denies God's hands in any of this.
