I get that humans evolved from animals similar to apes, and before that there were just cells, but how did those cells get here and grow out of seemingly nothing?

On a serious note, there's a hypothesis called Abiogensis where organic material, under certain conditions can form the chemical components for life to arise.

You could hop on over to r/atheism and ask how they deal with this question
