Where did you get this from?

If a microscopic being comes into existence (chemical reaction maybe), it either eats or dies. Therefore it is entirely possible that dependant life is the first life

[quote=Reefer Rogue]There is no reason to think that anything in the universe, or the total composed of these things, is self existent, thus there must be a GOd outside the system of dependent being who created them. The universe doesn't exist necessarily, it is not the universe's essence to exist. It's concept does not logically imply its reality in all sets of possible circumstances. And that is different from the concept of God as a greatest possible being.[quote=Reefer Rogue]Where did you pull that from? Since when did you know the reason for the universe? Why doesn't every philosopher come to you for answers, since you know so much about the necessity, or lack thereof, of the universe?
