herald9: All this rigmarole won't get you anywhere... believing in what you know is not true is just like Christians believing in an Almighty God....As you spend every moment trying to rationalize their mind,also endeavour to expunge yours of this hogwash scientific mythology...
Two wrongs can't make a right
I keep telling dimwits like you this...I do not have to believe anything for it to be true....if it is true...it is true objectively...but in your case we have a situation where a "truth" is only true due to interpretation a.k.a subjective views...
DieeDiee: You claim to know him why can't I ask you?
Dieediee can you see the irony in their responses?....they'll claim something can't come from nothing...but want you to believe a genie poofed from nothing and made everything..
malvisguy212: yes there are law of physics and time,something cannot came out from no where,scientists can say something must have caused God(which is wrong) but the problems with this scientists is that they don't understand the nature of God, science can't explained God.I believe God is not bound by our understanding of time, why did I say this? Because there are lot of prophecy in the bible that the prophet use present tens example isaiah say "a child IS given" he use present tens.
God is the sole exception to these laws because he is a supernatural being instead of a natural one: he is invisible and immaterial, and his existence does not depend on, nor is it tied to, the existence of our physical world. What holds true of the natural and material does not necessarily hold true of the supernatural and immaterial (and vice versa). Thank you.
malvisguy212: there are many verse in the bible that indicate that God was acting before time begin.
This is circular reasoning because you can't use the bible to prove anything about what it already claims.....it's like using a Harry potter novel to prove hogwards is a real place
DieeDiee: No hold up! Let us use his argument and his definition. So the universe according to @truthman2012 is ''the whole creation and the Creator'' and in the same breath he says that according to the law of cause and effect something must have created the universe. Now if by @truthman2012 definition of the universe (I remind all that he said the universe is defined as: ''the whole creation and the Creator'' - Creator being God I assume because he capitalized the word) then that means GOD MUST HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY SOMETHING because as the christians keep saying nothing can create nothing and @truthman2012 said in his OP the universe was created or caused by something else therefore if christians assert God exist the what or who created God?
malvisguy212: If the universe has always existed, then time has always existed, for matter has always existed and presumably was not entirely inert (i.e. events would occur by which the passing of time could be measured). This implies that an infinite number of events have occurred prior to now, as there was an infinite time prior to now for them to occur.
truthman2012: From your order of creations: Universe first, then bang, galaxy and planet, right? Serious error. Everything created is known as the Universe.
''Earth evolves and fertilized over time''. Did the earth evolve from nothing as nothing produces nothing? It must have evolved from SOMETHING and that something is God. Or tell me what the something was.
But I've still proved a point... just think about it...
No you haven't, you just displayed your ignorance blatantly...your case at best can be highlighted as the horizon problem(or at worst) which was solved by alan guth...
truthman2012: Universe is defined as ''the whole creation and the Creator'', meaning it includes the earth.
The Big Bang Theory from the link says the Universe started from 'small singularity' and expanded. Whatever the singularity means, SOMETHING must have CAUSED it. What is the something if not God?
For a christian to lie through his teeth like this is a great feat....since when is the universe defined as the bolded? Wow!...just wow!
herald9: Unfortunately sir, Newton's first law of motion supports creation...
"An object will continue to be at rest until it is acted upon by an external force "
This clearly shows that atoms didn't just start rolling and bumping into each other to form a perfect entity like the universe ...Something must have 'acted on it' .
lol ....therefore hydrogen atoms in the sun don't fuse to form helium right?! This is the underlying problem with people like benalvino2 and you....you extend the use of a principle to what it isn't used for and then declare a profound discovery...
DieeDiee: The Big Bang theory proposes that the earth was one mass (as your christian bible also proposes) this mass expanded and expanded over billions of years (as opposed to 7 days) till finally it erupted. To simplify for you, think of microwave popcorn. You put the bag in the microwave and the heat does its magic the bag expands as the kernels heat up and explode. Now just image that bag bursting and the contents inside spilling over. Remember heat and cold create moisture and condensation, moisture and condensation is water and water is the source of life and it fertilizes. This is a very simplified explanation. If you are up for some reading here's a link: www.space.com/25126-big-bang-theory.html
universe not earth...that aside truthman2012 fails to get this anytime he is told..
truthman2012: Since nothing can produce something, it means something must have produced the Universe, what was it that produced the Universe? The bible says it was God. If not God, what was it?
You are disagreeing with the op here or have you accepted that a "nothing" as commonly understood cannot be pinned down?
and the op says nothing produces nothing,so we're back to square one.... If nothing as you said produces nothing....how can a something affect or cause it to produce something from nothing and where did the something come from?
truthman2012: My accusation is just an observation.
Give us your own classical definition of 'nothing'.
I said it would be close to a vacuum....you disagree...so tell us the "nothing" you are talking about... bottom line was that I was just trying to make you realise that a "nothing" as commonly understood does not exist,hence you can't deduce anything from it...
truthman2012: The same Advanced Learners' Dictionary defines 'nothing' as ''not anything'' That is, no space no container.
Don't edit a post when making comment, it is fraudulent.
Your post is still there for all to see
truthman2012: @davien Your knowledge of science is shallow. 'Vacuum' is not and not close to 'nothing'. Advanced Learners' Dictionary defines vacuum as space in container from which the air has been pumped out. Space or container are something, not nothing.
Now that you realize you can't point to a classical definition of "nothing" you are tap dancing and accusing me of changing your posts,lol...
Advanced Learners' Dictionary defines vacuum as space in container from which the air has been pumped out. Space or container are something, not nothing.
lol....you are actually arguing against this? okay einstein....can you provide an examinable "nothing"?
RikoduoSennin: Did the maker of Rolex declare himself to be a God? Did he/she meet the require of being a God? Then, how can I worship him when he himself is a creation?
@ bolded, not necessary that I knew that watches are created: but more about complex gears and wheels working together in precision can't come by chance.
@ bolded, you are wrong there is reason to believe it was created because from your previous bolded comment above, THEY CAN'T COME BY CHANCE- No human has lived long enough to see a planet formed.
The earth is more complex and precise that Rolex time piece, so it can't come about by chance.
You have heard that God is the creator of earth you choose to ignore that. Human's are limited to what we can perceive
If your senses alone can deceive you,how is faith a better alternative?
truthman2012: There should be no question about ''nothing produces nothing''. Something must have produced the Universe, which is believed a belief to be "god" because the bible says so. Scientists as humans have not been able to discover what caused God, but the truth is they discovered something cause the Universe as nothing produce nothing.
sadly, you don't know what you're talking about, science says nothing about "god/gods" because they aren't testable and any and all tests to falsify the biblical "god" have either failed or produce results that support naturalistic occurrences... Furthermore science is quantitative,can you point to a classical definition of "nothing" so as to determine if anything can come from it...a vacuum is the closest thing to a nothing and it still produces things all the time if you are aware of quantum mechanical fluctuations...
macof: Excuse me! Small Gods you say?. Yet these Gods protected our ancestors, kept our lands free from disasters, enabled us build empires, graced us with intelligence and skills to overcome life's huddles, healed us etc.
Surely ur God, Jehovah must be the small ones
Atleast we didn't kill each other that much before those foreign abrahamic religions came
There is the simple law that NOTHING can give rise to NOTHING - that was my point. Your explanation that the universe existed in a primordial form before it inflated still doesn't explain where the primordial was. When did it start to exist in primordial form? Scientist have traced the Big Bang or creation or the universe about 14 billion years - that is the data we have so far. What about the primordial form? Did it always exist? Was it there eternally and just inflated about 14 billion years ago?
This is my point,you keep asking uneducated questions because you haven't read a shred about what you're talking about....I'm virtually wasting my time with you because you can't go do your homework... And can you give me an example of nothing in it's classical sense...not a vacuum devoid of matter...just a classical example of nothing would suffice and then envision how another "nothing" can/cannot come from it...if you can't,then how can you make conclusions from it? If you said we have examples of something coming from something I'd agree with you 100% and we can make conclusions that things can come from things...but when you say nothing comes from nothing,do you have a standard of "nothing" to draw that conclusion from? The remainder of your questions of asking a "where" and a "time" is illogical if you did your homework about the pre-inflationary universe...I bet you even think there was an outside,lol...
Scientist such as Alan Guth - Physics professor at MIT are the ones doing deep research into cosmic inflation and that inflation is after the Big Bang and not before it. So, I am interested in your view about primordial Universe - I am sensing you are saying the universe had always existed but decided to inflate 14 billion years ago
And might I ask where I said inflation was before it? or did the below tautology confuse you
Everything that is,was and will be in existence is still termed "the universe."...before inflation and after.
If you are easily confused by the above tautology it comes as no surprise that you know next to nothing about the big bang... Here's a tip....go and do your homework...mentioning alan guth is one thing...understanding his work is another....here's a bit of help
No one is arguing this point. The question is, did the universe have a beginning or did expand infinitely i.e. did it always exist and just continue to expand?
I will re-iterate....the first inflation is referred as the beginning of the universe...before inflation the universe existed in a primordial form...
All I wanted was for you to be specific. You have confirmed that our universe had a beginning and this beginning was an inflation. That leads me to my next question, where did energy and matter come from? Did they exist before the inflation or they started to exist when the universe was inflated?
I did not "confirm it having a beginning" how is this hard for you to understand... The initial inflation is termed the "beginning of the universe"...those were my words..and furthermore the as-yet unknown primordial universe still existed....that is what can't be deduced in any scale as it operated in a 0-dimensional infinite regress...
Ah - so basically you are not sure. You are suggesting that properties such as matter and energy might have existed before the universe but you are not sure - is that your stand? If yes - any scientific reference or proof for this?
#facepalm ...was it the fact that I said it seems the universe has eternal properties that hinted such? For clarity.... 1. Inflation is termed the beginning of the universe. 2. Before inflation,the primordial universe was infinitesimal....existing as everything in a 0-dimensional plane of extreme density..... 3.Everything that is,was and will be in existence is still termed "the universe."...before inflation and after.
Neither am I an astronomer . However, we have evidence about our cosmos that can be discussed. We know certain laws have to be in place or certain things to happen.
Not necessarily....there is no law that states the earth must be 93 million miles away from the sun...it is just one in an infinite number of possibilities....
