This is a question posed to the Atheists " Were they created by nothing , or did they create themselves"

Question

We all know that we did not create ourselves and if we were not created by an intelligent being then we must have been created by .... nothing! Who really sounds silly?A person who says an Intelligent being created this magnificent universe ? or one who says all this intelligence even in they're own bodies was created by, well .... nothing!
Allah says " those who dispute, if they were to bring all of they're greatest people together , they could not even create a single fly .and if that fly took something away from them they could not even retrieve it". Which Atheist dare answer this question !?

Answer 1

The Big Bang, it's there, look it up. No, I'm not going to get Best answer, but I'm tired of people overlooking the facts and science for their "religion". What sort of religion is it that makes you want to walk blindly without knowing the truth of anything? Has anyone ever considered that their religion may in fact go hand in hand with science? The world was created in seven days, Impossible, until you look at Revelations and it states that one evening in Heaven was like a thousand years on Earth. Well it still falls short a few billion years, but then ancient people didn't have a concept of what a billion was. If people would stop walking in the dark, a lot of things tie together. It is still possible to have your faith in God and believe that the world was created in billions of years.

Answer 2

This argument for divinity is as old as the dickens, and unfortunetly, despite enough evidence for disproving it, Christians still insist on using it.

The whole argument can be turned around by asking "who created God?" for if puny humans are so complex that they need a creator, then a being who can create entire universes out of sheer will surely is too complex to have come from nothing.

But this logical fallacy doesn't seem to register with Christians, so allow me to clear it up

There was an ancient sect of hinduism that believed that the world was a big plate, suspended on the back of an elephant. When asked what the elephant was standing on, they said an even larger turtle. When asked what the turtle was standing on, they changed the subject. Or, if they had a bit more intelligence, explained how it was turtle all the way down.

An infinitly large turtle may seem rediculous to a Christian, but in principle, it is the same principle used with God. Consider how a Hindu tribe would have percieved the world. Clearly it would have looked flat to them; they would not have had the concept of a round Earth, or gravity. So they try to come up with a valid theory that can explain how a flat Earth can exist. This leads to the fairy tale of the elephant and the turtle, rather than simply keeping an open mind and waiting for observation to manifest into an answer.

In the same way, modern Christians (well, our whole civilization, really) does not possess the knowledge or observable evidence to reach a satisfactory conclusion on the creation of the universe. That is the proverbial never ending horizon which leads us to conclude a flat earth. And like the ancient hindus, modern people create the fairy tale of creation. When asked who created the creator, they change the subject (or just say he has existed forever and be done with it.) The parallels between an infinitly large turtle and a creator God are obvious. Christians spend their time explaining how the universe is too complex to exist without a creator, while conveniently ignoring the fact that a creator God would have to be vastly more complex, and therefor require a creator himself.

It is only now, in our enlightened society, that we have men who have the maturity to accept that the answer can not be ascertained at the moment. We have a valid, working scientific method, which starts with observation; the exercise of reason. We have not observed the forces that lead to the birth of the universe, so the thinking men wait patiently until they can find an answer that is satisfactory. There is nothing wrong with not having the answer.

so I end with a quote by Douglas Adams
"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that fairies were behind its creation?"

Answer 3

We weren't "created", we evolved., just like the Bible wasn't created in one second. It took thousands of years to evolve into the book it is today, and it's still changing.
We may not be able to "create" something that contains a soul yet, but it's also evolving. RE: cloning and genetic manipulation.
Do you think God would let us learn all the wonders of this universe if he didn't think it was important not too?
Do you honestly believe that we're only on this planet for the amusement of some higher entity.
But then, most children believe in Santa clause and the Easter bunny, until they grow up and learn the truth.

Answer 4

Well, by saying that we have been created by nothing, or that we come from nothing is actually referring to a whole school or teachings by various philosophers and scientist...Nietzsche, Sartre, Hindenburg, Derrida, Baudrillard...who all deal in a sense with both life and death (well, don't we all?) and mainly nihilism (which I truly can appreciate, although not in it's raw form-I especially like Nietzsche's idea, that in this postmodern, post religious era the person becomes a work of art itself -I believe everything is a work of art, or well almost everything). I used to be very religious, believed in god, and all that, and sometimes I still do because at times I need some sort of comfort (that's the only reason that people believe in any sort of god-to give ourselves explanation for the things we cannot explain with reason)
I don't know, maybe there is some sort of higher power(that's why I wouldn't define myself as an atheist), but I also don't think it is very logical to believe in a primordial being who created us all, or the Bible, or Ku ran.... (seeing how they all speak the same only whit different names and different stories, and let's not forget were written by men, and for all we know could be works of fiction, or an attempt to give people meaning-that's what we're all searching for, in the end. I think of them more of guidelines for the people who lived in that time, their explanations, and lot's of wisdom in there too if interpreted wright). The questions that everyone wants religion to answer for them is why they are here? what is the meaning of this existence? and what will happen when I die?
Is it really that hard to accept that maybe we were ˝created˝ simply because of a random set of events, because doesn't everything in a way happen randomly? and to realize that it is us who create the meaning, by living, by giving to each other, by capturing the moments of people. Doing the best you can, always searching for new meanings, unraveling your own delusions, having a passion for sensations, being a good daughter, son, friend, person, doing the things you like and living completely in the moment...to me that's the meaning of life....and should be to everyone. To just try and make the best out of this world, out of this life, and to try and overcome our differences and appreciate each other and everything around us. In the end
˝The world is what you make of it˝ (both inside and outside your mind).

Answer 5

Assuming that ALLAH say that for sure first of all you have to know what it meant at the time when it was said then you have to apply it to moderm principle for it to make sense. i'm not an Atheists, but i'm sure they believe in the theory of evolution. regarding what Allah says it's obvious that human being can't create something out of nothing so the statement itselft becomes stupid to just think about it. Humans can build things not create everyone knows that so that statement does not make sense at all. it would be like me saying black is not white that's obvious right. think about it. Oh i'm not an Atheist remember that, but I do think most religions are meant to keep people at bay by controlling what they can do, say or wear. for example the muslim relgion.
and before you go on the defense that I call Allah stupid think about the statement before u judge. and you have to put your belief aside to really think about this. Everyone knows that humans can not create something out of nothing right, we agree on that. now the statement say
(if they were to bring all of they're greatest people together , they could not even create a single fly .and if that fly took something away from them they could not even retrieve it".) since humans can't create something out of nothing the first part of the statement is not even possible. the second parts becomes crap because since human can create something out of nothing because the fly was never created there for it could never take anything.
but let's say that the fly was created what can a fly take away from you...lol.

Answer 6

So what's wrong with answering "I don't know"? As I understand it atheists don't believe in God. Does that mean they claim to know all the answers? Just because they don't believe God created them doesn't automatically mean they believe they came from nothing. They don't know, and what's more, most of them don't claim to. Who really sounds silly? The people who believe something they have absolutely no evidence for, or the people who honestly say "We don't know"?

Answer 7

Just remember it is a belief.
Everyone Believes in different theories
What if the correct combination of Elements combined to make a living cell. Something unseen by the human eye. Then over millions of years it added different elements and depreciated itself into what we are today.
Yes humans. People say something to other people who want to listen. If you get enough people to believe in what you are saying then it has to be true?!

Answer 8

Nothing is not NO -THING. All thing is contained in No Thing.
It is not empty void but the void full of potentialities.
Do not attempt to understand in time and space equation the things about the origin of creation, because the answers lie beyond the parameters of Time and Space.

Answer 9

A person who argues the existence of god is trying to reassure themselves that they are correct in their beliefs.

A person who argues the NON-existence of god is the same person who would kick a crutch out from under somebody.

Don't try to force somebody to share your beliefs, and don't try to shatter a belief that is bringing somebody happiness and a sense of faith.

Shhhh...don't reveal the secrets of Area 51.
