I am agnostic and i just want to learn your ideas about the subject. How can something appear by itself? Dont you think there must be someone to create the first thing(whatever it is,an atom, a cell,..)???

God has always existed and he created everything that is in the entire universe because he did not want to be alone no one created God he has always be in existence if you want to know where he came from I guess you have to ask him when you see him face too face!!~!!

You can ask that same question about a GOD. Why is it easier to believe that a GOD "always was and always will be" instead of the existence of what we are (universally speaking) as "Always was and always will be"?
I am not an Atheist, however, my belief in God does not focus on a Supreme being that has a plan. Mystery will always plague the curious and many will develop their beliefs to suit themselves. Proof not being required, can lead to any belief man can create. I believe "Life" and it's complete unrelenting cycle is universal and never ending. . .the proof is our planet alone . . . it is a living planet that consumes all of it's inhabitants and to "what end" is the answer that eludes us all.
While we may believe that humans are the most intelligent of the creatures on this planet, we are wrong in that belief. . .We seem to be the only creature that requires us to enforce laws that control our true nature, in an attempt to prevent "self annihilation", laws to develop a cohesion with our environment during our life process in the hopes we can extend our span/existence on this planet.
Bottom line, we do not have the answers and this is a fear factor to many. . .a God can help sedate that fear. . .As a child, made up friends helped to fill lonely moments. . . it is easy to see that having some sort of insurance, is better than having none at all.
The biggest question of all to me is "Do we know we're dead"? If when you die, you are no longer aware, then you will never know you are dead. It seems to me, if this is true, you have nothing to worry about, because you will never find out. Peace.

There are many things which are outside of our knowledge and we suffer from the disadvantage of having to relate everything to our experience. We assume that there must be a creator because our experience suggests that everything must be created. That is not necessarily the case. The current thinking is that a tension in the energy in space acting in a void is as far back as we can go to locating how a reaction was developed which lead to the Universe. Everything came from nothing and if all the positive and negative elements in the Universe were canceled out there would be nothing again.

The Big Bang Theory states that at one point in time all matter and energy which are now present in our universe were contained within a very small area that rapidly expanded to become the universe we witness today. It does not make any statement about everything being spontaneously created at that point in time.
Creationists presume that matter and energy did not exist in the past and had to be created by an eternal God.
If your "God" can be eternal, then why is the same not true of matter and energy?

Why can't it always have existed? Certainly not in the same form as today, but it's not to far-fetched to think the stuff the universe is made of has been here forever. In fact, certain theories will tell us that it's actually impossible to destroy something. It's only possible to change it's form, so it must have always existed in some form.
As far as things "needing" a creator, does there have to be someone there to turn water into ice? Lava into rock? Does someone have to stand by and make sure that crystals form properly?

I'm not an atheist (actually I'm Roman Catholic), but personally I believe the Big Bang Theory could very well be true since God could've said "Let there be Light" and BOOM!! There's matter flying off all over the place.
I mean with substomic energy you never know what could('ve) happen(ed). You can make more efficient bombs using atomic energy, more energy for electricity and many more things than you could with just a simple chemical reaction.

The new theory is membranes which contained different laws of physics.
When these different 'branes' collided, the result was catastrophic and resulted in huge improbabilities and universes to be created.
These new theories will not gain credence until string theory can combine many problems to support a unified field theory.
Once we can get these ideas together, you will never here the something for nothing dilemma - this is covered by the following:
(Cite from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy)
"Conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy (including potential energy) in an isolated system remains constant."

If we use conservation of mass as a solid theory, we could say that from nothing could come matter and antimatter. They may not exist in the same place (or dimension if you want to call it that), but they would both exist. I don't know what would cause this but it's a possibility.
Another possibility is that some matter always existed. If theists claim that God always existed, what's stopping us from saying the same about matter? It may not have been in the form we are accustomed to, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it would still be matter.
I don't claim to know anything about physics. Just hypothesizing here.

The universe was created from whatever was before it, the singularity at the beginning of the big bang. It was all controlled by the laws of physics, most of which we don't fully understand yet. The creation of the universe does not necessitate a creator being.

No one created the atoms. It's all about dark matter and the general theory of relativity... It's not something one can answer in a forum such as this.

Well, nobody will really ever know how it really was created, nor will anybody ever be able to truly prove it - we just don't take the easy way out and say some supreme God made all of it to make the story shorter and simpler. We want to go the long way, and try to discover what really happened, and how.
Question for you - in the Bible, it says God is, was, and always will be. How is that possible?
