You stated, "The only religious opinion I really have is that the existance of an afterlife would be logical. Without it, it seems that this life would have had no meaning."

I truly hope so. If not, then anything we accomplish in life means nothing in the end. I want to believe and I try to, it is hard, to believe all of this hard work will stay with me and that it will matter. It helps me keep going when I am struggling or reading stories about those who have sex with their dog. I work far harder than I have to so I can have a better life, so I would like to have it stay with me in the end.

All cells come from pre-existing cells. Where'd the first cell come from? That is all.
