1) If man's '1st ancestor' the cell, began by chance, why is it that all life since then has order and purpose? All physical life depends on fixed laws to keep it going. Take away laws and life would not last. This order and purpose in living things today proves that it did not begin by chance millions of years ago.
Why is it that you assume that life has a purpose now? As well why can't order arise from chaos?

2) If a complex computer must have a maker, how is it that man, who is far more complex that a mere computer, needs no maker?
All machines are created in so far as we need of their function. This again leads us back to whether life has a purpose... As well it leads us to wonder whether everly complex system requires a designer. For a counter example I cite the fractal which is something that arises purely from mathematics, it isn't really designed, but many people think they are complex.

3) Why is it that so many scientists who believe in evolution disagree in the way it came about? There is no disagreement among scientists about real facts of science. They do not argue about the fact that fire needs oxygen or that the earth travels around the sun.
Argument is vital for science to advance. If we automatically accepted anything without experimental verification then we wouldn't be doing science. We accept that the Earth orbits the sun because the current mathematical model works, that doesn't mean that the Earth orbits the sun, it is just that our current observations agree with the theory that the Earth is orbitting the sun. Fire needs oxygen because in the past it has always been observed that oxygen is present when there is fire, this doesn't mean that fire needs Oxygen though, that is impossible to prove. If your question were proof of the demise of evolution then surely Quantum Uncertainty must be false because there was argument about it from Einstein... Your logic seems to suggest that anything new is wrong because there is argument, and this is a fatal flaw.

4) The theory of evolution is based partly on the way animals are grouped or classified. But not all scientists group animals in identical classes, nor do they all agree as to how they should be grouped. If evolution is to be proven by the orderly grouping of animals, and scientists cannot agree upon the groupings, how then can it be accepted as a fact?
Evolution isn't proven by arbitrary grouping, it is proven through similarity of species and simple logic: "That which is best suited to survive in a given enviroment will".

5) The earth's fossils show some change within certain species. But other species have not changed at all in millions of years. How is this to be explained?
Simple, if that species is in an enviroment that it is best suited to we wouldn't expect change now would we?

6) If life began by chance, why is evolution based upon an orderly selective process?
First of all evolution doesn't deal with the beginning of life. Second of all Natural Selection isn't at all orderly, there are possible times when the best suited animal is killed off by the other animals. Finally order from chaos isn't unexpected, we have the second law of thermodynamics which is really just probability... (It wouldn't be unexpected to see a box that is half hot and half cold, just infinitely unlikely, especially in a big box) So you see that when dealing with probability there can be order in the end.

7) What really logical and satisfactory argument can be given for all the missing links between the fossils?
Easy. Fossils are hard to be made naturally and thus occur rarely. As well lets say that for any two fossils there must be a missing link, then between the missing link and the one of the two fossils there must be another missing link and so on and so forth until we have an infinite amount of missing links...

There are many more questions which the atheistic evolutionist could be asked which could not be answered with satisfaction. There questuions are enough, however, to show that evolution is only a theory and not a fact.
As well Evolution != Atheism. As well the fact of evolution which I assume you are referring to from the TO website involves observations of changes in species over time.
