I wonder why atheists don't how foolish atheism is . They even stooped low to define "nothing" . I mean this is so illogical undecided

Anyway , here is a sane brilliant mind answering the question "Did God Create from Nothing?

Class A example of christian apologist foolishness on display.

Richard Dawkins was explaining Lawrence Krauss's definition of "nothing"


He was explaining that a physicist's "nothing" and a layman's "nothing" might not be the same.


For example within the empty space between planets there is something,, even though a layman would say that it is nothing.

Even within a vacuum, gravity, quantum particles etc are something. Most people would describe something as nothing. Go and read about "nothing" from a scientific view. Google is your friend




This is my only and last response to this foolish thread. I only write this so that a young soul might not be misguided by the nonsense here

grin another atheist Dr. Peter Atkins who has a PhD in chemistry is convinced that nothing actually exists, in his debate with craig he argues that Craig's cosmological argument fails because nothing exists. grin grin grin

Another atheist, Dr. Victor Stenger has also suggested this in his writings.

That's not yeye. At least try and think deeply, nothing us the absence of something then the question is in physics does nothing truly exist? I'm a bit disappointed you're encouraging this thread @kingebukasblog you should know it's a very valid philosophical and scientific question?

If u say nothing doesnt exist.
U have killed all the laws of thermodynamics.
U have also killed mathematics.
because zero comes before one.
Its people like u that say zero is not a number.
Its people like u that say time doesnt exist.

Please dont let us go extinct.

Surely stating that nothing exists is "killing the law of thermodynamics" as you say. Also why are you referring to mathematical 0, if you read the articles or stopped your 12th grader thinking you would see the simple point is nothing does not exist because in reality there is no space where something, anything, isn't present. Even in a vacuum.

When have I said time doesn't exist. undecided aren't yu one of the people that believes god exists outside space-time? Bur I'm the one that says time doesn't exist?

Well u may escape with ad hominem by calling "12th grader"
Its expected.

But the fact u just made an absolute statement where by saying there is "no where" where nothing is not present.
Gives u away.
U r not as intelligent as u try to appear.

Christians say the universe(time,space,matter) consists within God (Colossians)

If u even say nothing exists, u r even helping christians whom u blast, to affirm the bible.
Do u want to go that way?

Right of course. I'm not making an argument based on whatever side is for or against God as clearly there is already an argument for both scenarios.

However this is nothing short of simplistic thinking, and is a failed attempt at you trying to be witty on a topic you didn't understand.

If I'm trying to appear more intelligent then I am then I leave it to you. Considering the laws of physics including quantum and relativity physics, define nothing? You can have fun with that

It is good that young Nairaland readers all know that atheist Richard Dawkins is already displaying all the symptoms of insanity. Can an insane person describe nothing ? Just like Newton and Einstein and many other deluded atheists, they were clutching at straws.

A 22-year old study at a German University has many psychiatrists and psychologists throughout the world wondering if atheism/ deism, agnosticsm is a sign or warning of a more serious mental illness already present or in the process of developing. Atheists or people who are very strident about their atheism are heavily prone to mental illness:

“There were 17,809 people in the study. It was a very large model as far as psychological experiments go.” This came as quite a shock to us as we studied patient after patient.”

The results of this study have unnerved even the most stoic scientists, physicians and researchers.
Murderers like Hitler and Stalin were also atheists.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

Richie Dawkins the confused man. He called NOTHING ...SOMETHING and then said NOTHING is simplistic and then said NOTHING is WHATEVER IT IS. in other words NOTHING IS A WHAT! IS A THING! HAS PROPERTIES WHICH ARE SIMPLISTIC!

The struggle is real. Even the much younger audience saw how ridiculous he was and yet he claims to be intelligent. grin grin grin

there is no such thing as nothing. in a quantum vacuum energy is bubbling spontaneously, you cannot isolate anywhere in this world or space where there is nothing; so the word nothing is abstract and imaginary. it's a conceptual idealisation

I totally understand . I mean we are talking of before the big bang . Apparently , there are two types of 'nothing' :Absolute nothingness and the quantum states or sea of energy

We understand the second type of nothing science is talking of . But the first type of nothing which is absolute nothingness which atheists say existed prior to the big bang has no properties or power - so how can such be observed ?

At least the Jainas - adherents of Jainism - believed that space (ākāśa) has two parts : the lokākāśa, that is the space occupied by the universe, and the alokākāśa, the portion beyond the universe. The alokākāśa can be seen as something in both the scientific and philosophical sense but this is totally unscientific because all matter space , time energy came into being in the Big Bang .

As Theists , there was never absolute nothingness because God is some-One who has always being . But since atheists claim the universe came from absolute nothingness , then they should show us how absolute nothingness can be observed .

Quantum Mechanics do not indicate an eternal universe . There is no such thing as an eternal universe . There was a point - moments before the universe where absolute nothingness existed - "no stuff, not even a quantum wave function; there was no prior thing" according to physics professor and cosmologist Sean Carroll - and that was >15 billion years ago .

So yes , there is such thing as absolute nothingness , the kind atheists posit .

As in eh ...

I'm not sure what the have against the word "God" - its just the appellation of this mysterious something that gave rise to the origin of the universe .

Here is Stephen Hawking on the Beginning of Time :

These had to be imposed on the universe by some external agency. There is no dynamical reason why the motion of bodies in the solar system can not be extrapolated back in time, far beyond four thousand and four BC, the date for the creation of the universe, according to the book of Genesis. Thus it would require the direct intervention of God, if the universe began at that date. By contrast, the Big Bang is a beginning that is required by the dynamical laws that govern the universe. It is therefore intrinsic to the universe, and is not imposed on it from outside.

Here he would admitted that an 'external agency' caused the universe to exist or brought about the 'dynamical laws' that govern the universe but he thought that since the universe - according to his own book of Genesis - is 4,000 years old therefore such can't happen .

Its very clear these people are atheists because they misinterpret the bible with the belief that God is a product of religion . There is no place the universe was stated to be 4,000 years old and there is no reason to take the creation story literally .

Even before modern scientific evidence backed theism , theologians believed the sixth-day creation shouldn't be taken literary . First it was Jewish scholar Philo of Alexandria in the first century and then Christian theologian Augustine of Hippo also made the same observation in the 4th century .
