Atheists: Where did matter come from?

Question

This question is for the atheists out there. I truly want to know where you believe matter came from?

Answer 1

Your face.

Answer 2

For those who quote matter, atoms, neutrons, protons, electrons or just pure energy, that indistructable, unproducible, 'substance' which cannot be created or destroyed, right? How is it, it's easier to believe in 'it' than in God who has the same qualities but rather than being innanimate, actually is a thinking, feeling being? How is it we can beleive in science and it's perfection and yet think it happened by chance? Does perfection happen by chance?

What about mathematics? Is that chance or did it already exist? By evolutionist standards, where does that put us with regard to mathematics? Surely all equations, even the ones we haven't figuered out yet, already existed, even when we were at homus homus erectus stage, barely able to count mammoth kills on our fingertips?

So where does the perfection of maths fit in if it wasn't created by a greater intelligence?

Just by scientific standards, without bringing into question faith, I cannot accept 'it', meaning maths, exists just by chance.

To go back to the original question, the Bible can very easily support Big Bang if applied to Gods method of creation and science cannot refute or disprove it.

....Also,(to who offered answer about Galileo's science), if you read the Bible properly, specifically Genesis, you'll find reasoning behind our planets shape!

Answer 3

Matter probably came from where it all started - The Big Bang. Why are you against atheists, when it is stated in the BIble that the Earth is Flat, and that the Sun rotates around the Earth. It took Galileo to proove that statement false with his telescope. So when it comes to science, the Bible has none of it. So quit being a jerk, and come up with some real questions.

Answer 4

There is no such thing.

This is more easily understandable if one considers the actual scale of the components of an atom. If one takes into account the fact that the neutrons, protons and electrons of an atom actually have huge spaces between them it becomes clear that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are made up of 99+ percent empty space.

This alone does not seem too important till you add the idea that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are more of a loose conglomeration that share a similar attraction but never really touch each other.

At first glance this does not really seem relevant, but closer analysis reveals that this adds a tremendous amount of empty space to solid objects that are already made up of atoms that are 99 percent space. When so-called solid objects are seen in this light it becomes apparent that they can in no way be the seemingly solid objects they appear to be.

We ourselves are not exceptions to this phenomenon.

These seemingly solid objects are more like ghostly images that we interpret as solid objects based on our perceptual conclusions.

From this we must conclude that Perception is some sort of a trick that helps us to take these ghostly images and turn them into a world we can associate and interact with. This clever device seems to be a creation of our intellect that enables us to interact with each other in what appears to be a three dimensional reality.

I hope that helps to answered your question.

Answer 5

Who says the stress had to be "created"? And in case you make certain there replaced into an absolute stress on the initiating, you will choose the subject of looking out what "created" that absolute stress. no longer each and every thing desires a author. some issues have merely continually existed. "i think in a nutshell, as somebody additionally suggested, what do u men think of relating to the potential of something "kicking it off" and type of merely letting it fly. ?" it incredibly is named the enormous Bang.

Answer 6

the answer is that no one knows.
i hope you are not asking this with any sense of putting anyone in their place because the truth is that theists don't know where matter came from either (other than having their parents tell them about the bible)

Answer 7

the word atheists came from preachers that could'nt convince people to come to their establishments. To call others a name because your salsmanship is lousy.=god is a spirit and if you believe in god then you believe in yourself.

Answer 8

Matter, I believe the big bang, how did the big bang come? Well several different gasses condensed till they imploded, where did the gas come from, it was just there, but I have a question for you, where did God come from? Everything was created one way or another is what your question says and you say it's god, so where did God come from, he couldn't have just been there like the Big bang or could he??

Answer 9

I know that I do not know where matter came from as we are not advanced enough as a race to have satisfactorally, scientifically answered that question. That does not, however, lead me to make up a story about where matter came from and swear to everyone who will listen that it is true.

Answer 10

The Big Bang singularity contained all of the energy in the Universe. And, thanks to Einstein, we know that energy and matter are really one in the same. The total amount of energy/matter in the Universe has remained constant ever since (this is conservation of energy). Energy and matter constantly change forms, but the total amount remains constant.

Answer 11

Some would say that it had to come from god. Well then where did god come from? That kills that argument.

It either came from the big bang, or has always existed.
