Okay Atheists? So, nothing was there and it exploded, creating everything? Right?

Question

"Oh my gosh! Like, I can't believe it! This is awesome! A brand new car just popped magically from thin air into my garage! Sweet!"
Isn't this just wishful thinking? Or, is this possible for you? Forget the "billions of years," time is not important --- something's either possible or impossible. So, if the universe coming from nothing is plausible, isn't my brand new car coming into being from nothing plausible too?
You guys are smart people over all, just not when it comes to God.

I've done my research. A year's worth, actually. I almost became a agnostic while faced with a crisis of faith. But, I did my research and have come to the conclusion that there is a God.

Answer 1

Here is a web sight that explains it, it wasn't exactly a big bang, space, time and matter just appeared everywhere then started expanding. Of course it's just a theory but interesting.

Your like alot of people in science now days, they are realizing that the universe, life and many other things are beyond the ability of science to explain.

I was watching a show about Quantum Physics and they all believed in God, they said there had to be a God to create the universe because it's beyond the ability of science.

Answer 2

A proper understanding of science would tell you that we can only know what the empirical evidence lets us know. For everything else, the answer is "I don't know." There is just as much evidence for the existance of God as there is that we are the result of some wayward alien explosive device occuring on a timescale we can't comprehend. God is historically the default answer when we don't have enough evidence for the real answer. Consider how little we attribute to the power of God in modern times (not even natural events are really under his control), when only centuries ago it was ALL God's deeds. As science explains how it comes together, the more God recedes.

Answer 3

Ok then by your reasoning...where did God come from? And its about as plausible as a God who made two people and then condemned all the ages of people because two made a mistake. Then he bred them together and still expected every person to do what he wanted and be perfect even though he supposedly gave them a choice. And then lets make everything in their nature a sin and see how they go. Then he has some other beings he made...also not perfect because they rebelled and instead of killing them he makes the baddest one the king of the place the people are living on. Then to spice things up lets give the people a bit more of temptation from the bad one and tell them if they succumb to it then they will go to hell. And then lets send his son and make them believe in him but also kill him so wow another big sin but he died for them so its ok. Oh and lets not forget the holy ghost whatever that is but dont worship anything but God unless its the saints or the Pope or Mary or Jesus. Its will all be ok though because he gave 50 people pieces of a book and they called it the Bible and changed it to suit whatever they wanted their agenda to be but if people believe in it they will be fine. Pulllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeez. Talk about a fairy story...dont get me started.

Answer 4

I totally agree with you!! I mean everything needs a creator and matter can't just come out nowhere!!1!

So of course some magical man in the sky who is beyond comprehension (and of course wasn't created himself, he always existed, which goes against the whole "out of nowhere" thing you were talking about), created us in his image in six days (don't give me that "well six days to god is like a billion years to us, because time isn't important, somethings either possible or impossible).

You claim that a car is complicated and couldn't just appear, so how could God, who is a billion times more complicated than any car, but he didn't have a designer.

Btw, you started with the whole sarcastic thing, I just continued it.

You guys are logical, just not when it comes to God.

Answer 5

Try M-brane theory for a real treat. You should try to have an Idea about what you are trying to poke fun of before you try to make fun of it.
All you have done with your question and details is make yourself look silly.
If you understood about the idea of the big bang then you would realize that it means that everything came from nothing including you and your car and your garage, after billions of years, and time is important.

Answer 6

I read a scientific journal and it was the same odds as a 20 parts meat chopper put in a cement mixer coming out put together.
As for a single cell to just happen. That is just a cell.
If evolution is true and things just came into being out of thin air then why do they need to use human embryno to do stem cell research? why don't they just make stem cells? Compared to a body a cell should be real easy to make.

Answer 7

Dove,
I think you are being a bit simplistic about an extremely complicated subject which is beyond the scope of most intellectuals.
People reach God not through reason, it is through faith
In my humble opinion, i don't understand the big bang and i don't understand God but i understand you are entitled to believe in whatever you want to believe in.

Answer 8

Ok, seriously...You're just being disrespectful.....Atheism doesn't claim to know the origin of everything....But the Big Bang theory suggests that everything (energy and matter) once existed in an extremely small space, and at one point, this ball of energy and matter exploded....
What is the likelihood of this? Basically it is inevitable. If nothing is ever created or destroyed (as science has proved) then these items had trillions upon trillions upon trillions of years to explode in just the right way....if they didn't we wouldn't be here to question them....

Answer 9

The question isn't how it happened, but how God did it.

If God decided to create everything with a big bang....so what??

Does that really shake your faith???

To the Christian two simple truths should stick out in your mind:

1) God created the earth

2) Therefore, everything (i.e. evidence) I find in it, must be from God.

If evolution is proven as law, currently being theory, so what?

Then God created the earth by allowing his creation to change....does that change anything??? How much more of his power is revealed to us if this is proven true???

Answer 10

Ugh...these mindlessly smug questions like this one make my brain hurt. Would it be to rude to just say "Get a clue!" Yes...I think it would. So I won't say that.

Interesting thing about Atheists is that I've never actually come across one who said he or she knew all the answers. But in no way should we be looked down on for seeking the answers.
