Nothing is not a thing, right?

"Nothing created something, which lead to the creation of everything" What the atheist argument sounds like. Nothing is no thing! It has no power, no energy, no life, wait, it isn't even an IT, again Nothing is NO THING. So how can nothing create? Does it make any sense to you or do you truly wonder if there is a God out there? God Himself has no origin, He is beyond our understanding as creatures. God is the only one who has the power of Creation, to create something out of nothing. In fact if God created something than that something did not come from nothing, but rather from God. Check out this article about the scientific theories of creation and how it can contradict science itself. http://www.apologeticspress.org/APContent.aspx?category=12&article=4584 --------------------------------------------------- Atheism is the belief that there is no God. They believe that there is no God because they oppose Faith. If God can't be seen than He must not exist. Yet it is impossible for an atheist to truly confirm that there is no God because their eyes and experience is limited by life on earth and earthly science, they have not seen all the areas of the universe and the realms of existence to PROVE GOD DOES NOT EXIST. If God is unseen, does that mean He does not exist? Absolutely not. The atheist best answer to the existence of God should not be "No" but rather I do not "Know". Think about that... Edit: Considering the law of conservation of energy, the energy itself could very well have no origin, because it came from God Himself who has no origin. The law states: Energy can be neither created nor destroyed So I believe that the energy quite possibly was not created but rather "exerted" by God. Wow!

    Something doesn't have to been seen to know it exists. In a [i]scientific[/i] perspective, not an atheistic, although they may align for many atheists, existence is determined by measurability. Give me one example of a measurable act of God. Either way, what you are saying is [i]not[/i] the atheistic argument. You don't understand what atheism is, and you are generalizing it. Furthermore, the argument you mention is also flawed, and is most likely not the case. Me, you, or anyone else do not know what "nothing" is. IMO, It is not the "absence of something" because that would scale it to something in existence, therefor making it something. Rather, nothing is just nothing. There's no comparability because, well, we have never encountered "nothing". It's just simply not there. The argument isn't that something came from nothing, rather that something just simply was always there. Regardless, the believability of something coming from a God is only brought upon by tradition, ancient scriptures, and Sunday school. Impressionability over thousands of years if you will. There is no other thing that distinguishes it from "something coming from nothing" or "something always existing" other than personal believability. A quote by Betrand Russell, from which I am deriving the above logic from: [quote]Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove received dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake. If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time[/quote] In addition to this, Atheism is not the belief there is no God, it is the lack of a belief in a God. Call it nitpicky, but this distinction is very important to understand what atheism is. If it were a belief that there was no god, that would contradict what atheism is, because it would put God in the field of actuality, and say that atheists [i]deny[/i] this actuality, which is simply not true. Show me anything that will show God in actuality. Rather, atheists [i]lack[/i] a belief in the idea. Lacking a belief does not put said belief into actuality.
