    Can something come from nothing...
    If so will that prove God exist?

      Something can't come from nothing. It is an impossibility. A time when there was nothing is not logical and is beyond man's understanding. I can't say that there ever was a time but if there was it is up to the individual to decide if that proved anything. Some would argue that creation proves there was and is a creator.

      According to scientists, yes it can. For over a decade now, they've been amazed to discover and observe matter forming out of the apparent vacuum "nothingness" of space.

      Your first assumption is that Humankind came from nothing.
      Which would be a lie. We know we came from something. What's not answered is where or how?

      Your question "If so will that prove God exists?" - No! Because, as I said before.

      Why do you assume that Humankind came from nothing?
      Do you not understand science?

      something can come from nothing. God Himself formed the world from nothing. we were made to understand that the world was void when God created the world. another part in the bible says God formed those things that were not as if they were. if God can do that you can also do because you are God. Psa 82:6  I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.

      (Q)posted 14 years agoin reply to this

      Usually, when it is claimed that "something came from nothing" it is a claim made that assumes there was nothing. With the creation of the universe, we assume there was "nothing" before the Big Bang simply because whatever may or may not have been there before is meaningless to how it affects us now. The universe affects us, not what happened before it came into existence.

      But, it is also a question that scientists would like to know as it may help to understand how the universe came into existence and whether or not our current theories have any relevance to it.

      So, most likely, there was something before the universe existed, but it is a something we would find very hard to fathom as we relate everything we know to our known universe.

      well

      currently in our world , the answer is NO

      nevertheless, this could have happened one time at the beginning of life.

      I mean getting something from nothing is not the case but it might used to be.

      In my belief, God is what came from nothing. God created all else... (maybe created is the wrong word)...
      I believe God is everything and nothing, those are the two sides to the coin of God.
      I believe nothing existed and at some point everything existed. the only thing that can exist with nothing else (an opposite) is nothing.
      (by everything I don't mean everything we have now, the original everything may have merely been a microbe...)

      'before the beginning' there was only Nothing and nothing is the only absolute concept that can exist without an opposite.

      Using numbers:
      nothing is in the negative... everything is in the positve... 0 is the middle ground.
      If we started with -100 0 +100 representing existence today...
      the begining would be represented as 0.
      Technically, if there is only Nothing, then Nothing=Everything, hence God is the Alpha and the Omega,... that which simply is...I am Who am... wink
      {Which is another reason why I think a simple circle is a better symbol for the representative symbol of God.}

        It is the universe, not God, that is eternal.  There is no proof that god created the universe.  The only thing we can see is the evidence of the universe.  From our finite perspective, the universe is eternal.

            Something and nothing, beginning and end are all finite perceptions. We can assign God to it, but we still don't know what the reality of the universe is.  Concluding that the universe is God is only whimsical in my opinion.

              I beg to differ based on popular opinion.
              God is not finite, and most consider him to be incomprehensible.

              Therefore your description of the universe is attributed to God also.

                  One needs to understand the two "I's" involved let me give you example with Hinduism and Christianity.

                  Hinduism- Om Namo Shiva - I bow to Shiva( god)

                  and Shiv Ho Hum - I am Shiva ( God)

                  Christianity- Jesus- "I am the Light- I am god"

                  "I am the son of god , me and my father are one".Jesus

            If the universe had a beginning, then there was a 'before the beginning'. So if there was a 'before', then the universe was already there. Hence a beginning is a contradictory notion.

            It works the same with the Big Bang. If the BB expansion of the fabric of space is true, then there is a demarcation edge to the expansion. Since there is an edge, there is something after that demarcation. Can I put my arm through it? Can I drill through it? Why not? Is the wall too thick or too hard? So we have a contradiction with the BB creation too.

          for something to be eternal , it must be powerful enough .

          that depends on the definition I regard here as power .

          universe is just a collection of many interacting elements .
          so are you saying these elements are etenal by themselves?

            Try this then:

            a qua or presently defined quanta/quantum is defined as the smallest measurable unit of energy (though i can prove otherwise).
            Even so, that would make the qua the greatest unit of power.
            So then both the finite and infinite are respectfully identical, in that both are the greatest power of eternal, since energy never ends.

    I find it interesting that people continue to look at the Universe and see it as the beginning? This misconception is known throughout history and it should not be the case.

    People continue to look at the Universe, as something that is an effect from some other cause. When in fact, the Universe is the CAUSE and the Effects of it is Life.

    The Universe exists. Since, it exists, so does Life on Earth.
    The Earth evolved to sustain Human existence.
    Humans evolved to think for themselves, so as to guide themselves.

    There is not a subject that we came from nothing. We came from Earth originally. Myself- I came from two consenting adults who had intercourse, with the idea of having a child.

    People say, Humans are not gods. God created Life and Humans cannot obtain that goal. In fact- Every human being on the planet has the power to create life. Everyone!

    The Big Bang theory has been proven true to the satisfaction of most scientists. That was the beginning of time and space. Matter wasn't being hurled out into space - there was no space. Space and time were initiated at that moment and space expanded with the embryonic universe.
    Where's it all end? The cold universe theory holds that it keeps expanding till all stars burn out and then just sits there forever...inert and unobserved. A new twist to that holds that maybe as small black holes are gobbled up by larger ones (this has been verified as an ongoing phenomena) there will be a gradual progression to one giant black hole which will then implode on itself. What then? Another big bang? Nothing? Judgment day? If Hawking doesn't know then I'm afraid I don't either.

    I wish a physicist, astronomer or cosmologist would weigh in. Anyway, just a few tidbits.

      I don't think Black Holes are 'holes'. I think they are large deposits of an element I call the 'Gravity Element' (and my comments about the rest of it I think are on this thread already)

        And I think we are confusing two seperate beginings;  I think God's birth (for lack of a better phrase) is the transformation from there being only nothing, to there being also something/everything... Later God created, possibly using the 'Big Bang' and evolution, what humanity commonly calls creation.

      (The Big Bang theory has been proven true)
      No it hasn't. Science never proves anything as every theory is falsifiable.

      (space expanded with the embryonic universe)
      You are implicitly saying that space is a physical object as it can be expanded, has shape, and is irrevocably contoured by 'something'. How can a 0-D singularity with no size, explode into a universe?

      Homework:
      a) Draw space so we can see how it physically looks like.
      b) What is the 'stuff' that is on the outside of space and contours it?

              Oh I agree with you up until the intelligent part. If I were God, I certainly wouldn't reuse all the WASTE and leftover crap material of the stars in universe to make my pure beings.
              I would use the flesh and blood of Jesus to do it. There would be no leftover star crap in my beings.

              But of course, that would be me...I'll let God speak for what "He" did. Oh I know, maybe God is an environmentalist - reuse, reduce, recycle.
