Answer:

Cosmologists and astrophysicists (people who study such matters) explain the creation of the Earth (the ball of solids, liquids and gases we live on) as the result of the mutual attraction and accumulation of matter created (either after the "Big Bang" or in process of continual conversion of matter into energy) through gravitational attraction and the pressure of light. The view is not the view of Atheism but of science. As atheists have no supernatural belief to explain the existence of the Universe, the opinions and findings of science must, by default, be theirs.

Most atheists and many theists accept the present science based evidence for evolution as the correct explanation route for the development of human beings from other life forms. Studies by Nation Geographic indicate that most of the world,s population support evolution in the development of mankind. (See Link). Notable exceptions being Turkey and the United States. Highest on the list are countries which are secular, supporting the view that non-religious people (although not necessarily atheists) support this view.

How do atheists believe the world was made?

There is no set atheist belief for how the world was created. Atheism is just a lack of belief in any deity. Thus an atheist will not believe that a deity was involved in the formation of the earth. Atheists would in all likelihood all subscribe to one of the many scientific theories about the origins of the universe and the resulting origin of the earth. That means, they (we) would take a naturalistic view on its origins: The Big Bang Theory, "M" Theory, and so forth. Atheism is not a religion.There is no unifying belief, only a unifying lack of belief. So atheists do not all actually 'believe in' anything. Atheists do not share beliefs or morals nor is there a code of belief for atheism. Therefore, while some atheists may believe Earth was formed from the sun as science dictates, and some can believe aliens made Earth, 'atheists' in general have no general "beliefs'. Atheists generally rely on science to explain the natural world. They do not create myths to explain things that cannot be explained yet.
