Why is there something?

[Lonnie]

If there is no God, then why is there something rather than nothing?

I believe there is a God, and I believe that he created every thing.

But for you atheists, why is there something rather than nothing?

The question is meaningless and unanswerable. If there were a cause for "something", that cause would itself be a "something". You cannot explain the existence of "something" by a prior "something". There cannot be an answer to this kind of riddle.

Exactly. Without a creator, space wouldn't even exist. Neither would time. Much less the energies that supposedly caused the Big Bang or whatever. There wouldn't even be light or darkness. Nothing would exist. Existance wouldn't even exist. Atheism makes no sense.

Only for the atheist.

And neither would God.

Reread my argument. This applies to theists just as much as atheists.

It's like asking why there is seven instead of vompatral.

Lol, I ask a question atheists cannot awnser(or refuse to awnser, and simply make fun of my question).

Why cant the awnser it, because it is impossible, right? You dont have an awnser. You DONT have any reason why there IS something, do you?

Us theists believe God is the reason for "something".

PS, my God is powerful enough to do that.

Are your theorys powerful enough to explain why there is something?

 

[Spinrad]

Being able to make up an answer to the question doesn't make your answer correct. In fact it means something quite different.

 

[Lonnie]

But atheists cannot awnser this question, can they? It is impossible for them, right?

Your "God" IS something.

That something which you ask about just is.

I can not agree. Atheism makes as much sense as theism, just because there is the eternal problem of first cause is no reason to assume that God must have done it, after all we can’t answer the first cause problem either, where did the creator come from? If a creator does not need a first cause why does the big bang need one?

The big bang is not a conventional explosion, it is an expansion of a quantum singularity event. At or about T=0 the laws of physics do not apply. Saying atheism makes no sense just because their answer to,
“What is first cause?” has to be “We don’t yet know” is disingenuous when the only answer we can give to “Where did God come from?” is “God is eternal and does not need a cause”.

Ok you guys, think about this logicaly, how could there be something rather than nothing?

Our Choices, either something(or some one) created something(he decided to do create something).

Or what?

God of gaps much?
So who created your creator... or how did he come into existance?
If you say he's eternal... then why can't space and all matter be likewise for the atheist?

No one can answer that question accurately.

They are not making fun of your question they are demonstrating that you are applying diferent rules to your answer than you do their answer.

Why cant the awnser it, because it is impossible, right? You dont have an awnser. You DONT have any reason why there IS something, do you?

Just because we don’t know the answer to the question yet does not make it impossible that there is an answer. We didn’t used to have an answer to why things don’t fall of the planet, now we do.

Are your theorys powerful enough to explain why there is something?

There are several compelling theories that may answer how it could have happened. As a Theist I believe there is a God, but I don’t believe that in lieu of an answer to where things came from. If people only believe in God to answer the question of where everything came form, I find that rather depressing.

Or something always existed and we just don't know all there is to know aboutthe nature ofhte universe yet. Well, since we already know that we don't know everything there is to know about the nature of the universe, thats not much of a stretch.

And neither would God.

No kidding, because the first line of my post said "WITHOUT A CREATOR..." etc, etc. So yeah, good for you for figuring that out. *golf clap*

 

[Lonnie]

So, there is no reason why there is something? (if there is no God)
