No, it probably didn't happen out of nowhere -cause and effect, afterall. But, the problem with believing in a God is that you are stuck again with cause and effect - what created God? If it was an even bigger, more powerful being then what created it? And so on and so forth.

Yes, life can appear - it has been done in a lab, so it's obviously feasible that it could happen spontaneously somewhere too. It wouldn't have just appeared from nowhere - there would have been some kind of cell mutation and probably something acting as a catalyst to that. Once there was a single cell organism then it would have started down the path of evolution.
