Sounds like your apple challenge reworded.

God creates a thing out of nothing. How do you show that he made it out of nothing instead of out of pre-existing material?

My answer is that I would weigh the universe. Assuming I could do it accurately enough, I could show that the universe had increased in weight with the creation of an entire moon from nothing.
Best answer I've ever seen.

Indeed, the amount of mass/energy in the universe would be increased accordingly.

And yes, this is my apple challenge reworded.

You surprise me, AV. I honestly did not expect that!

Well...............I was confused slightly!! :D
The truth is, that is the only valid answer I can think of.

I've mentioned it before, but years and years ago.

So I don't think she saw it.

I must say, I was (and still am) highly impressed.

From an older post:

The scientific answer to my Apple Challenge requires a measure of omniscience to answer, but it can be answered scientifically --- and has been.

Here's how I would answer it - (for the fifth time):
  • I would show my friend (if I could) the amount of mass/energy of the universe before the apple was created, and then show him the amount of mass/energy of the universe after the apple was created, and then the amount of mass/energy in the apple itself, which should correspond to the difference in the mass/energy after the apple was created. Put another way, the amount of mass/enery in the universe should increase in accordance with the apple.
