A question for atheists?

Question

Okay, say life DID form out of chemicals
(even though the chance of that is less likely that the words "To be or not to be, that is the question" forming when you drop Scrabble letters on a table).
Where did those chemicals come from? Had they always been there? Was the universe ALWAYS here? The world had to have been created at sometime, or it would be eternal, and be like a god. Whatever you say, someone can always say, but where did THAT come from? Eventually, you'll have something created out of nothing. Isn't this evidence enough for belief in an Intelligent Designer (we call Him God)?

Any thoughts and appropriate answers welcome.

Thanks for your time.

That's why we call Him God. There has to be some stopping place. I believe God is the source of everything. What do you believe is the source, since you don't believe in a god?

Answer 1

I agree with u pro-life, (I'm a christian) it doesn't matter if u could disprove EVERYTHING about evolution....they wouldn't change anything. why? b/c they would have to change EVERY LITTLE PIECE OF ''SCIENTIFIC'' ''FACT'' THEY HAD!! plus they would have to admit they were wrong, thus they would have to believe in God. and if u want my opinion, the BULL-S-H-I-T that evolution is is nothing more but a ''proven fact'' of crap where atheist can get together and try to disprove the bible, b/c look at it over 80% (I'll even bet 90%) of evolutionist are atheist or agnostics, b/c look, if they can make-up this billions of years bull and believe it (since their already atheist) and they believe their is no god....then who is to tell them what to do? if u believe the universe was created from nothing their must be no god right? well that's what they believe i believe that evolution was CREATED in the MINDS of MAN so they could believe we evolved from apes, so they wouldn't believe in the truth: THERE IS A GOD!! now i know I'll get a very bad rating for this, but so what? I've speaked my mind, and i'm a christian so the bashing's gonna b 2x worse: so what? atleast i believe in the truth!

Answer 2

OK, quick version. The big bang occurred, expanding space and matter. As the matter moved out into space, it cooled enough (eventually) to condense into electrons and protons (from quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks) and then into atoms - hydrogen (one electron and one proton). These atoms were in clouds, which collapsed gravitationally into massive stars - population III, the first stars in the universe. These stars were huge, even compared to stars today. They were extremely hot and short lived. They fused hydrogen to helium in their cores as fuel, and so forth all the way down to iron. When they ran out of stufff to fuse, they exploded in hypernovae, creating even rarer elements than iron in the explosions, which where then spread throughout the universe to seed pop II and I stars, and eventually planets like our own. So the Earth started with these elements availible, which fuse through chemical reactions to make molecules, and eventually proteins, the building blocks of life. And it all went from there.

Where did the matter for the big bang come from? We're not sure yet, but we think we'll eventually have an answer. We're working on it - we're not going to give up and say 'god did it' - if we had done that 50 years ago, we wouldn't know a tenth of what we know now about the universe. And the universe is awesome!

No matter how unlikely life was to form, it only had to happen once for you to be here asking why it happened.

Answer 3

Well if the Universe WAS always here, the question of if it was created is meaningless. If something is "infinitely old" it was never created. It has always been around. Just imagine that our Universe is a bubble in an ocean of bubbles. Or what if the big bang is the just the beginning of the most recent and infinite cycle of expanision and contraction.

Early humans invented things with their imagination to help them better understand the universe around them, at least before science was discovered as a better way to understand the Cosmos. Humans place God in the picture of the Universe. It's called "anthropomorphism", it's humanizing things to better understand them. So if you place God in the picture, you MUST ask the next question...where did God come from?

Answer 4

Where did God come from! POOF I am lord almighty! Everyone has their interpretation on how the world began and such. In my opinion everyone has their beliefs based on the same character that seems to have dozens of names, God, Allah, Zeus, etc and for atheists its Evolution. The one that created this universe/planet, these are all the different names for something that is pretty much one thing. No one knows for sure how this planet was created and i doubt we ever will, and i truly think it doesn't matter! We are here and that should be all that matters.

Answer 5

You have got to be kidding me. Something always had to come from something else, until you get to the beginning, and the beginning is God? Is that what you're getting at?

Then where the hell did your god come from?

This is very basic logic. The same rules that apply to the universe apply to your god. If your god always existed, why couldn't the matter which comprises the universe have always existed? This idea is actually supported by scientific laws and theories, something which I'm sure you know nothing about.

Edit: Why does there have to be a stopping place? Your "logic" is faulty.

Answer 6

No. Not knowing the answer to something is not evidence that it was created by some imaginary all powerful man in the sky. We can't answer the question of where we came from...yet. That doesn't mean we have to invent silly stories to explain it. We just continue searching for the answer. And be honest about our uncertainty until then.

Answer 7

We know very little about the universe we live in, including its origins. Is it possible that there is an intelligent designer that created it all? Sure. Is there one shred of evidence that such a designer exists? No.

Answer 8

Let me get this immediately,you are asking questions of atheists and complaining once we reply? Would it slow now not be bigger spent complaining approximately the devout now not answering while you ask questions of them? Religion is backwards. I consider eighteen is your lot roughly

Answer 9

The four fundamental forces of the universe. Go read up a bit about it before asking questions like this.

Answer 10

I got a question for you, Where did "god" come from? It's not logical for him/her/it to always be there.

Who created your so called "god"

Since we're carbon based life-forms I believe we are star dust made from the universe, add that with the theory of evolutiont than bam.
