If you believe there is no God, you are essentially saying "something came from nothing." This justifies someone saying a jar of peanut butter appeared out of thin air. Am I missing something? Isn't pefectly reasonable for me to assume that there is "something" out there that started it all? Isn't more of strecth to go through weird socretaen philosophy and say we all live in a vaccum and nothing outside our reality exsists? Why is it that because our five basic senses can't measure it that it is not real? Do our basic physical senses validate the existance of something?

Something can't come from nothing. It is biologically, geometrically, and in all other ways impossible for something to come from nothing - without a cause. (Cause & effect)
However, bad science (which promulgated the theory of macroevolution) has been forced to invent ways of making the evolution theory fit into the constructs of good science.
They have been forced (by their own illogical reasoning) to redefine the english language and have even gone so far as to (get this) typify "nothing" into five categories. Yes, bad science claims that there are now five types of "nothing." And would you believe it? - One of those types of "nothing" actually has the power to create something. So, now you see the utter stupidity of "bad science" as it attempts to recover some semblance of respectability.

The Big Bang theory, as proposed by Stephen Hawking does not suggest that everything came from nothing. all the matter that creates the universe was in existence at the point of critical mass and the energy from the "event" exploded everything outward.
What science lacks in its explanation of creation is a purpose for creation. Religion gives us a purpose for creation.
We would get along better if we could allow that science and religion seeks to answer different questions. Science asks how and religion asks why. Religion should not be concerned or defensive about how questions, because that is a matter of faith. Equally science should not be defensive about why questions because that is a matter of philosophy.

Well, I don't think it did. I think the Universe was always here in some form.
So where did your god come from? Something can't come from nothing, right? All you have done is delay the question a step. You have no evidence to do that, so you (or someone you are listening to) just made it up.

No we are not 'essentially' saying something came from nothing. We are saying a 'god' didn't create us. None of us, and yes, that includes scientists know all the answers to our origin. We are too caught up in false beliefs and war to focus on finding the real truths that have been hidden from us for many years.

Actually, science doesn't say "something came from nothing". Before you waste your time destroying a theory that doesn't even exist (a favorite tactic of creationists), you should at least learn what science ACTUALLY SAYS about it.
That's called "education". Yes, you are missing something, and you are displaying both ignorance and unwarranted pride at the same time.

Actually, you are mistaken. The people that believe something came from nothing, are those that believe in god.
It states it right there in the first page of the bible.
The rest of us see that it's likely that the universe has always existed.
Make sense?

Your argument would be valid if there was a place where nothing actually existed. Even in a vacuum you will have sparse elements, like in space. There will always be energy of various forms by way of light, heat valence movements of electrons.
Let's face it there is stuff everywhere!

Actually things come from "nothing" all of the time... sort of. Energy can be transformed into matter (and anti matter) and vice versa. If you believe that "God" always existed then why couldn't matter or energy in some form always have existed?

Even if you believe in God, you are believing that God came from nothing. What created God, a more powerful God? What created that God? Think about it, you are in no better position.

How can water come from the process of condensation?
The elements are all there, they just have to have to right circumstances (forces of nature?) to promote the formation of water droplets.
Can you see gravity? Can you see electricity?
Of course not. But you see the evidence of their existence.
If you cannot see electricity, why then do you bother to turn on a light? Flipping a light switch is an exercise in faith.
