I have a question and it would be nice If somebody could answer it.
How is it possible that somebody believes in God although there doesn't exist any proof or at least an evidence for Gods existance besides some old books?
In my opinion God's an explanation for everything unknown.
But the universe is only is made up nothing and nothing must always have been here.
A singularity is infinitely dense so no there wouldn't be space
No, your pantry is not full of space. I had no idea that some people didn't even know the difference between a pantry full of AIR and outer space which is a VACUUM. If you don't even know this then why are you trying to argue scientifically
How is science a sham? Science is all proven in experiments.
And why does what a book, that is thousands of years old and written by stupid goatherds that thought pi=3
Prior to the 'big bang' there was no time, so we cannot apply time dependent things like causality to them.
The 'big bang' DID happen, we know it, have proven it, and have proven the resulting data as well such as the age of our planet, the age of the universe, etc.
that there was a global flood
that rabbits chew cud
that bats are birds
and that there used to be unicorns
Again, it did occur. It's a very well demonstrated reality.
As is the age of the universe, of our planet, and the history of life on our planet. If the entire evidence of hundreds of years of research, observation, testing, and demonstration show one thing, and a 2,000 year old book say another
Firstly, there is no such thing as 'nothing'. Even in space, out in the empty void between observable matter, and right down to the 'empty' space between subatomic particles there are still what are called 'virtual particles' which are constantly coming in and out of existence. These are unimaginably small and short lived, but they exist. They have mass and energy and they mean that everywhere in the universe there is matter. 'Nothing' doesn't exist.
All it takes is one of these little particles popping into existence in the wrong spot, bumping into an electron in a dense mass of matter and voila, the singularity begins to expand
As for the evolution of life, you first have to understand chemistry. The chemical composition of our planet, coupled with the environment, had all of the necessary tools to create simple amino acids, and that's what happened. Once these chemicals were formed, and there are many different ones which were, some were able (due to their chemical structure and the other surrounding chemicals) to combine and replicate. This is where evolution begins.
Over billions of years these chemicals became more complex, more stable chemicals. They gradually became organized, with parts that allowed for intake of, or attachment to, other present chemicals. They developed tools for creating and/or processing simpler necessary chemicals like proteins, ATP, and glucose. The beginnings of what we would recognize as a cell (most likely similar to today's virus) had formed. This was the very first 'living' thing on Earth. From there we've had roughly 4 billion years of evolution which has led gradually to all life on this planet. Every single living thing on Earth gets it's genetic information from this initial organism.
Either way, these things (big bang, evolution, etc.) are facts. They are real, they happen/have happened, and are proven.
No, science is not a sham
So you cite causality saying that a singularity of matter/energy cannot exist and, due to quantum fluctuations, rapidly expand, but then you say that an omnipotent invisible being is out there? If you really want to stick with your causality argument then you have to admit that each thing created would require an (at least) equal force creating it. If there is a God then someone must have created Him. And someone must have created his creator, since we cannot have a result without a cause. However we know that the 'big bang' happened and it doesn't defy any established laws.
Again, you could say that the 'big bang' was God's way of creating the universe if you like so you can accept reality and not discard your religion.
How are you defining nothing? Because it seems that my definition of nothing, and your definition of nothing is varying extremely.
You still haven't answered the question of where it all came from.
Air is the combination of oxygen, nitrogen, and other such gasses correct? And Rutherford, through his gold foil experiment, found that an atom is mostly empty space. So you're talking about a really big space, and I'm talking about a very small space. NOt to take the words out of your mouth, but: 'If you don't even know this, why are you trying to argue scientifically?'
For you to exert such a claim as true is fallicious. Scientist who subscribe to the Big Bang Theory don't actually know what was before the Big Bang.
IF the Big Bang Theory is true, than the universe is one seriously messed up place. Quoting from the above article, the Big Bang doesn't account for about 95% of the Universe. Theres also the question of star and galaxy formation.
Quoting Dr. Danny Faulkner: Stars supposedly condensed out of vast clouds of gas, and it has long been recognized that the clouds don�t spontaneously collapse and form stars, they need to be pushed somehow to be started. There have been a number of suggestions to get the process started, and almost all of them require having stars to start with [e.g. a shockwave from an exploding star causing compression of a nearby gas cloud]. This is the old chicken and egg problem; it can�t account for the origin of stars in the first place.[/i]
Quoting Dr. James Trefil: There shouldn�t be galaxies out there at all, and even if there are galaxies, they shouldn�t be grouped together the way they are. The problem of explaining the existence of galaxies has proved to be one of the thorniest in cosmology. By all rights, they just shouldn�t be there, yet there they sit. It�s hard to convey the depth of the frustration that this simple fact induces among scientists.
So because something is old, it is wrong? That is the most ignorant statement I have ever seen.
Again, how did the singularity get there?
If the Big Bang is so 'real', than why are scientist still searching for other ways the universe came to being? Unless those scores are wrong as well? I find it hard to believe that you know something that hundreds of PhD's don't.
As I've stated earlier, and in other threads, you can't both be Christian, and believe in the Big Bang. The Big Bang would have millions and billions of years of death, suffering, and evil before Adam and the Fall. If there was no first sin, than there was no fall. And no fall means no First Adam, which means no Last Adam. And I believe there was a certain video of an Atheist that made its rounds on the internet. And to use his words: "And I believe this would put Jesus into the ranks of the Unemployed".
You still haven't answered the question of where it all came from.
If you look back to the response in which I had replied, someone had said that Causality only applied some of the time.
Particles popping in and out of existence would appear to violate the conservation laws.
If the Big Bang is so 'real', than why are scientist still searching for other ways the universe came to being?
I'd also like to point out that both Birds and Bats are in the Phylum Chordata, so...
I also understand the Law of Abiogenesis. Life can only come from pre-existing life, so to say that a bunch of non-living particles created life is preposterous. Pasteur has disprooved Spontaneous Generation, and to uphold the notion is akin to saying that flies come from rotting meat.
If the Big Bang is so 'real', than why are scientist still searching for other ways the universe came to being?
That's an unknown to me. But that's not the argument I've been presenting. Your claim is God is eternal, I'm pointing out that we can just as easily apply that condition to the pre-expanded universe. So there is no need to insert a God in the first place.
If the Big Bang is so 'real', than why are scientist still searching for other ways the universe came to being?
That's how science works. It's constantly testing and re-evaluating things to improve our understanding. That includes looking into alternatives in case we got it completely wrong.
It hasn't to come from somewhere because it always have been there. Nothing comes from Nothing everythin always existed (Matter = Energy, energy cannot disappear.
That doesn't mean that you have infinite space avible. Something can be infinite and something can be more infinite.
It's the best explanation for everything and scientist can calculate what happened some trillion seconds after the allgedly Big Bang
Yes, if something is old it's probably wrong. That's the opposite of ignorance it's a sophisticated statement.
Singularity is a timeless state
This type of believing is called "deism" your little God isn't involved in Universe's history.
But that's not the argument I've been presenting. Your claim is God is eternal, I'm pointing out that we can just as easily apply that condition to the pre-expanded universe. So there is no need to insert a God in the first place.
Again quantum mechanics deals with different laws of physics.
The experiment that Pasteur used to demonstrate spontaneous generations, involved almost none of the conditions in which the first molecules formed
But molecules can form under certain circumstances
The only way to prove your hypothesis, is to try to prove it wrong. Not trying to search for other explanations would be a mistake in science

I see you are refering to 1 Kings 7:23. THis should clear you up:

Actually, that makes perfect sense, countering an argument with something brainless and unbelievable, which is the same as their faith. I applaud you *clap* *clap* *clap*
There are so many incongruencies with the Big Bang Theory that it looks like a block of swiss cheese.
The point is that it upheld the Law of Biogenesis, that life can only come from pre-existing life. So the non-living elements created by the Big Bang could not form into life.
But to say that that molecule would form from non-living elements is absolutely preposterous.
That was in response to MrWalker's statement that the Big Bang is fact. It is a fact that the sky is blue, so whats the point of me launching a scientific endeavor to proove that its pink?
[quote]It hasn't to come from somewhere because it always have been there. Nothing comes from Nothing everythin always existed (Matter = Energy, energy cannot disappear.
I never said I had an infinite space. I was talking about a small amount of space, and he was talking about a large amount of space. You really aren't making very much sense.

Article Said:
Evolutionists generally believe that stars formed by the collapse of gas clouds under gravity. This is supposed to generate the millions of degrees required for nuclear fusion.
But most clouds would be so hot that outward pressure would prevent collapse. Evolutionists must find a way for the cloud to cool down. One such mechanism might be through molecules in the cloud colliding and radiating enough of the heat away.
But according to theory, the Big Bang made mainly hydrogen, with a little heliumâ�"the other elements supposedly formed inside stars. Helium can't form molecules at all, so the only molecule that could be formed would be molecular hydrogen (H2). Even this is easily destroyed by ultraviolet light, and usually needs dust grains to formâ�"and dust grains require heavier elements. So the only coolant left is atomic hydrogen, and this would leave gas clouds over a hundred times too hot to collapse.
Newton also came up with the Theory of Universal Gravity, which is crucial to physics today, so that was a poor example on your part.
Copernicus is considered the Father of Modern Astronomy, and his idea are rather old.
Galileo contributed greately to our understanding of celestial bodies, and his idea are rather old.
It was Democritus, in the 5th century BC, who coined the idea of the Atom which would ultimately lead to Modern Atomic theory, and his ideas are millinia old. So to say that old idea are wrong, is a very, very ignorant statement.
Actually, the Big Bang has a few underlying assumptions. One of them is the universality of Physical Laws. One example of a Physical Law is Newtonian Causality. The Singularity that caused the Big Bang cannot be timeless, because that would imply that it had no cause, which violates Physical Laws and Newtonain Causality
Not quite sure what your point of writing this was, but I'm a Christian, not a Deist. If God created the Universe and then left, he wouldn't have sent Christs to sacrifice himself on the cross.
I believe that there is something out there but i also believe that what you believe in is what you get in the end

If I understand the site is Christian.
This website answers many of the most-asked questions about God (our Creator) and the Bible.
Many today think that humans exist merely because of a freak cosmic accident that had no cause or purpose. Indeed, this belief now permeates educational institutions around the world. As Oxford (U.K.) Professor Peter Atkins said, âWe are just a bit of slime on the planetâ. Even many who say that they âbelieve in Godâ have been âeducatedâ in this new âenlightenedâ way of thinking. Thus they now think that the Bible, which claims to be the Word of God, is merely the words of fallible men. Consequently, they see themselves as free to invent their own ideas about God, rather than submitting to what God has revealed in the Bible.
This naturalistic philosophy (âevolutionâ) removes any clear source of authority in our lives. If there is no Creator-God who rules over us, then there is no ultimate basis for morality, meaning or purpose. As Cornell University professor, atheist Dr Will Provine, pointed out regarding the consistent evolutionary view:
ââ¦there are no gods, no purposes, no goal-directed forces of any kind. There is no life after death. When I die, I am absolutely certain that I am going to be dead. Thatâs the end for me. There is no ultimate foundation for ethics, no ultimate meaning to life, and no free will for humans, either.â1
Or, putting it another way, how can meaning and morality come from random chemical reactions emanating from a cosmic accident? An admission by well-known British evolutionist and atheist Richard Dawkins underlines the problem:
From this website you can learn many things that show that there is a Creator who made us and that He has revealed important truths to us in the Bible.
Jaron Lanier: âThereâs a large group of people who simply are uncomfortable with accepting evolution because it leads to what they perceive as a moral vacuum, in which their best impulses have no basis in nature.â
Richard Dawkins: âAll I can say is, Thatâs just tough. We have to face up to the truth.â2
For Christians, trying to accept the prevailing evolutionary-long-age view undermines basic tenets of Christian belief. Consistent application of the evolutionary worldview to the Bible, bending the Bibleâs teaching to make it fit, results in either atheism or a âreligionâ indistinguishable from atheism, as professor Provine recognized:
â⦠belief in modern evolution makes atheists of people. One can have a religious view that is compatible with evolution only if the religious view is indistinguishable from atheism.â3
The story of apostate former evangelist Charles Templeton sadly confirms the truth of Provineâs statement. Many other atheists have similar stories: they once believed, they say, but not once they learned the âtruthâ of evolution at school or university.
Due to recent events I unfortunately Don't have the energy t shoot down every error, but I would still like to point a few things out.
http://creation.com/what-about-the-big-bang
Again, if God is eternal, and God created the Universe, than God could have just as easily created Physics, so that they would not need apply to him.
If nothing existed. Not even a colour. No solid form. Nothing.
You cannot imagine what would exist if there was nothing.
You cannot imagine it.
You cannot imagine God in His purest form.
That, is proof that God exists.
