This applies to everything, including the currently “accepted” scientific theory that all matter and energy that exists today ultimately arose from nothing.

Which is not any more sound that God creating everything from nothing.

So why do scientists mock the idea that a creator created everything from nothing and then with a straight face, expect us to believe that everything arose from nothing all on its own?

If you can answer that question, I have to imagine you’d be rich. I’ve had some interesting arguments with atheists and antitheists (usually the latter) on this subject.

Personally, I think the “spontaneous creation of matter from nothing” idea is considerably less sound than the idea that God created everything from nothing. The “Big Bang” theory, for example, strikes me as being incredibly illogical. It also posits that all the matter in our known universe (and beyond, no doubt) existed before. Why is this? There’s no good reason for that. Furthermore, where did that matter come from? Why would it come from anything?

Metmon...hi...how are you. It seems Mr.Flintsilver7 just disposed of the law of entropy. Therefore the question seems to be....If there is no God, why is there something rather than nothing at all? In light of the evidence we are left with 2 possibilities: either no one created something out of nothing, or someone created created something out of nothing. Which view seems reasonable? Nothing created something?

I ask again....If there is no God, why is there something at all?
