How can nothing explode and turn into something?

Question

I dont understand what they teacher is saying in biology class? Thanks for your time friends.

Somthing out of nothing flys in the face of thermodynamics Right?

Lets examine the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Everything tends towards disorder. In the Big Bang we have a huge universe-creating explosion. Nothing orderly has ever come from a random matter explosion of any magnitude. Explosions are anything but orderly, the larger the explosions the more random the matter distributions become. If a person made a claim that thousands of bricks were set in motion by a tornado, which ultimately resulted in the orderly design, and complexity of this Spokane Falls Community College school building, people would think he was crazy. To take the point of complexity a little further, this well-designed school-building students attend is far inferior to the human eyes function; let alone the precision of the planetary orbits.

Answer 1

If they are teaching you that in biology then they are doing you a great disservice. I think you are referring to the "big bang theory". In short the big bang is not that nothing exploded, it is that all matter in the universe originated from a single source. What is known as a cosmic singularity. It is the densest possible state of matter, where time and physical laws no longer exist. This "bang" (more like a sigh) is still occurring and is supported by observable evidence that the universe is still expanding. I know this is an overly-simplistic explanation.
What caused the singularity, why it began expanding and what happened before that are still mysteries.

There are many other theories, I'd advise you explore them.

Answer 2

Discussing the Big Bang in Biology class? I think not. And if that is truly your only understanding of the Big Bang I suggest you actually open a book and read it and not just get your info from some ID web site.

Answer 3

Are you maybe talking about the big bang?

The universe was not "nothing" before the big bang, it was very dense and hot, and smaller than it is now. The big bang theory is based on the fact that the universe is expanding and other things. It's an interesting topic, to be sure.

Answer 4

Nothing explode and turn into smth? Do you mean like an unexpected fire when there's actually no matches or fire-causing things around? Well, this is so sometimes as molecules or micro-organisms in things rub against each other which then causes friction, which eventually leads to a fire erupting.

Answer 5

You heard about the Big Bang in Biology???? Maybe you were a little confused about what class you were in.

Well, for the record, it doesn't say it came from nothing. It just says that it is impossible to tell where it came from.

Answer 6

Let's try it this way....

Where did God come from? Wouldn't he have come from NOTHING? If you say that he always existed... well, we'll get to that in a moment.

Next: Where did God get the material to create the universe? Did he create it out of NOTHING? If so, then something can be created from nothing.

If God created it out of himself, then the material always existed... if the material always existed, then why would we need god to create the universe?

Answer 7

No matter what, we're left with something always existing. If we keep God in the picture, we're left with the question, "How did God just come out of nothing and always exist?". If we take him out, we're left with, 'How did always exist or come from nothing?". The same problem. And this THING is the same -- whatever it is. And it's mind-boggling.

Answer 8

Well now. I think you have hit on the very question that scientists with all their so called knowledge will NEVER be able to answer. That's because they are looking in the wrong place. They are trying to explain everything without including God. As soon as they start looking where the answer is (which I truly doubt they ever will because they glory in their own wisdom) they will have their answer.

Answer 9

this happens in a vacuume such as space under the correct conditions. i have enclosed a page you should see, where scientists have actually created an electron and a positron in a vacuum where there was once nothing. enjoy!

Answer 10

Haha...

Or maybe a better argument against Evolution:
How can:
a) the sun be shrinking 4 feet per year, and be 90 million mi. away
b) the earth be millions/billions of years old
