Athiests and religion haters: Who/What created the substances to start the 'Big Bang' in the first place?

Question

Most of the people on here completely object to a divine being, but where do the matter, anti-matter and all of that come from in the first place. It can't just appear out of thin air

Answer 1

We have no idea.

Unlike religious people, we tend to not just make up answers to have them. We object to a "divine being" because it is a made up answer. There's no evidence of any.

Answer 2

I actually tried to ask this and couldn't put it in a right way lol. I must have just confused people. Good way to put it. lol. I'm not an atheist or a religion hater, but this is just 1 of the evidence that shows that God exists, so how do people say there is no evidence for His existence?

Edit: Let me just add something to what someone said earlier... "Old argument. Very lame. So if everything needs a creator....who created the creator? Who created the creator's creator? That can go on forever. " How could you be using the theory that God was not created to apply it to the big bang if you don't believe in God? Yes WE believe that God has always existed and was not created, but you DON'T believe in that principle. So how do you explain what created the big bang? So it's believable that it was created from thin air BUT it's not believable that God has always existed?

Answer 3

What a wonderful question that shows your complete lack of logical thought. If the question 'who/what created the substances to start the big bang?' proves (to you) that there must be a god. Then surely the question 'who/what created this god?' could be fairly said to prove there is no need for a god.

Both are loaded questions with several (remarkably similar) answers. The difference is that the big bang theory is based on logic and observation. Whereas the religious viewpoint is based on faith.

I see this as an attempt to merge religion and science. i.e. where science does not have answers, religion may do. However, as a philosophy it raises far more questions than it answers. Such as:
Where would this leave free will? Have we been pre-programmed to live and think as we do?
Is there still a need for this god? Has he done his job? I have to confess to not having read Nietzsche, but this does raise the 'god is dead' possibility.

Answer 4

Amazingly that people in the past had no idea what caused earthquakes to happen, so therefore they must be an act of God. Same thing as lightning, and so much more, that they must be acts of God.
You also state that "it can't t appear out of thin air", but does that statement not confirm that there is no God, since "it can't appear out of thin air". Very interestingly that one of the laws of physics is that energy can neither created or destroyed, however obviously God can go against this law. But then going back to your statement, that would be making things appear out of thin air and obviously "it can't just appear out of thin air".
So let me ask you this, if God created everything and there is only one God (monotheism), then how is it that there are things on the planet that religious believers think are bad? If God created everything, then it is all his creation.

Answer 5

Why can't it just come out of thin air? Why can't the universe just always have existed? Why does it have to have a beginning?

Stop being so close minded.

Fyi, You don't have to be a Atheist or "religion hater" (you're an idiot for even saying that) to take in faith on the Big Bang.

Answer 6

Why would you assume anything had to be created. The laws of thermodynamics state that matter and energy are never created or destroyed, but exist in constant quantity in different forms. Prior to the Big Bang, all that matter and energy was (theoretically) compressed into a singularity. So it was all there, but compressed to an infinitely small point.

If you still insist of believing that it can't have always existed, that it must have been "created", and God was the creator behind the whole mess, I ask you this: Who/What created God?

Answer 7

If you are a christian you expect us to believe that man was created by an invisible man in the sky out of dust.

As for your question if there is nothing did your god make all from thin air? Regardless of the belief according to you it still comes down to something from nothing. If there was something and he used it to create the universe that is in the same vane as the big bang something turned into something else, using the laws of nature not an invisible man who lives in the sky.............or maybe the explantion is one of thousands of other superstitions that have their own interpretation of creation.....

Religion is followed by the poor, questioned by the middle class and a tool used by the wealthy to control all the others.

Answer 8

I was here from the last universal cycle. Why is it that there doesn't have to be a beginning for the sky ferry, but everything else needs to be created?
Every theologists that claims a supernatural being created the universe through an action such as the big bang, is discrediting all known religious texts to date.

So, Christians: If a god created the universe, it was not yours.

Answer 9

A couple points, the matter we see formed after the big bang event as a result of inflation. Positive mass/energy formed directly in equal proportion to the amount of negative gravitaional potential energy produced by inflation.

Second most physicists do not think that matter is fundamental but based upon something deeper for example string theorists believe matter is due to warping of the geometry of space-time . In my opinion it is based on something deeper yet, and that something is eternal, non-changing, necessary mathematical truth. Not a complex hateful vengeful unexplainable god like Christians believe, but rather reality is at its most fundamental level, is simple unchanging mathematical truth. It only looks dynamic and complicated because we see it from within itself and we see so little of it, and the part we do see is selected by the necessity of our existence as observers..

Answer 10

it can just appear out of thin air, look up virtual particles.
some people think the Big Bang happened when two universes collided in the multiverse, by the way where did God come from?

Answer 11

There are various different theories. To see some of the best text in regards to this, see Richard Dawkins' books, most especially "The God Delusion". As Mr. Dawkins states in the above mention book, God--in any manifestation--cannot be proven to NOT exist, but probability can show that this would be very improbable.
