The two questions I like to ask athiests and others who doubt God created it all are: how does something come from nothing and how does life come from lifelessness?

I like to ask people who profess to be believers if they believe the Genesis account to be a literal account of Creation; 6 24 hour days. If they say no, I ask which is harder to believe?

That Christ arose on the third day or that He was involved in the Creation of the Universe?

IF God cannot create the Universe in 6/24 hour days, then He is incapable of overcoming death or doing anything else in Scripture.

IF a person has a hard time believing a literal Genesis account of creation, they will most likely have a hard time believing the rest of the Bible.

I always wonder why they get so passionate about their disbelief?

I think that assertion is a bit "straw man". I do not think people who object to the Biblical account of creation do so because the difficulty of God doing it. I think it is more due to things such as a fossil record which seems to go back further than Bible history, and eras that are left out of the Bible like the Dinosaur era.

‘how does something come from nothing and how does life come from lifelessness?’

first, there has never been ‘nothingness’, as humans understand the term, in the functions of the cosmos...second, if there is nothingness as we understand it, how does God come from that same nothing...?
