I have never been
sitting around the house in my underwear, and a really nice pair of jeans suddenly materialized in my lap. I’ve never needed a hammer while doing auto repair and have one magically appear in my hand. I have never walked out to the garage and found that I owned a new Gwagon instead of a rusty old Escape. At no time has a diamond bracelet appeared on the windowsill of the bathroom, nor even a lowly lump of dirt showed up on my pillow at night.
I think all sane people can reasonably agree that to imagine that things come out of nowhere unbidden is completely ludicrous.
Why then am I the stupid one, for not buying the anti-theist fantasy that there was nothing, and the nothing exploded by itself, without any discernible cause, and turned into all this?

Because denial is not only a river in Egypt?
The two word theory I like is “God sneezed”.
Stuff happens?
Does it really matter? Someone mad the Big Bang go BANG….
Iffen ya want to look at it that way…..
Don’t matter to me what anyone thinks, but I keep being called stupid because in my opinion there is a mind behind the fractal complexity of creation, while it’s supposedly smart to think all this just happened.
Good question…
Yeah, the claim it is science (evolution) even though to make it happen you need to ignore all the laws of physical science.
Kind of like the rest of their fevered fantasy’s.
Only a truly stupid person would call you stupid.

What a maroon!
1) You’re not stupid for not buying that.
2) I still think you’re wrong, though.
(Because there was nothing, and the nothing exploded by itself, without any discernible cause, and turned into all this is not in itself any more ludicrous than there was always God and then God made stuff for no obvious reason other than feeling like it.
It still, after all, leaves us with a question of ultimate origin – that of the Deity.
And if God doesn’t need an origin story, why should The Whole Of Everything?)
Who are any of us to decide what God needs? If God does not exist please demonstrate to me how nothing can become everything. Show your work.
Sigvald: God doesn’t require an origin story, because “origin” implies passage of time, and God is eternal (meaning He exists outside of time, time being among the things He created). Origin means there was a time when the item in question didn’t exist, and a later time where it did.
God exited before time, and yes I used a temporal word for an eternal concept because we lack the language to describe an environment where time hasn’t been created….yet. We find ourselves trying to describe a time before time existed.
Well put Mark. By definition we cannot comprehend the mind and action of a supreme being.
And God said let there be light and there was light. Genesis 1:3
Scientists love to imagine a time right to the Big Bang. But they cannot move forward from that split second. As such, science proves Genesis.
He also said my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. Isaiah 55:8
How much do we think of ourselves that we have all the answers. Even while yet acknowledging that there is so much we do not know. Created in His image, yes. But so very arrogant to think the creation is as much as the Creator.
Read a book a year or so ago on physics, and the writer said that a lot of physicists- especially the theoretical- really, really don’t like the question “Ok, Big Bang; so where the everything come from to be concentrated in that infinitely small spot of infinite density?”
