For atheist....What does 0+0=?? How can something evolve from nothing?

Question

How can that be? According to the big bang, the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter and in all directions. Where did this matter come from.....who created it?? Do you have evidence of that??? How did it all begin??

Answer 1

They do not know,

The only evidence I will accept is for someone to create a "Big Bang" from the nothingness.

All they can do is fabricate theory's and try to fancy it up and then brainwash themselves and others to believe it to give themselves justification for immorality.

Answer 2

Actually, that is difficult. Scientists are working on it, and when it comes to the origins of the Universe speculation is all we have to work with in some areas. But we've discovered a lot through particle experiments.
However, an explanation for the kind of complex being required to do this is even harder. Where did He (or She) come from?
Evidence of microwave energy in the background as cosmic rays that can be measured works. It has been peer reviewed.
When we talk religious origins, we get different answers depending on the faith of the teller. Anybody can review and possibly do the same research that has been done by Hubble, Einstein, Bohrs and Hawking and get the same results if they are honest.
The problem of if God created the Universe, then who created God is ignored by most theists. The Book of Revelation argument-"I am the Alpha and the Omega" is a cop out. The question is not being answered when you state something like that.
Real answers take real research. The kind of stuff that Hubble Einstein, Darwin, Bohrs and Hawking provide and that modern Fundamentalists seek to destroy despite it's proven benefits to mankind!

Answer 3

Physical laws as we know them did not exist due to the presence of incredibly large amounts of energy, in the form of photons. Some of the photons became quarks, and then the quarks formed neutrons and protons. Eventually huge numbers of Hydrogen, Helium and Lithium nuclei formed. The process of forming all these nuclei is called big bang nucleosynthesis. Theoretical predictions about the amounts and types of elements formed during the big bang have been made and seem to agree with observation. Furthermore, the cosmic microwave background (CMB), a theoretical prediction about photons left over from the big bang, was discovered in the 1960's and mapped out by a team at Berkeley in the early 1990's.

After some period of time following the big bang, gravity condensed clumps of matter together. The clumps were gravitationally pulled towards other clumps and eventually formed galaxies. It is extremely difficult to model how this clumping may have occurred, but most models agree that it occurred faster than it should have. A possible explanation is that right after the big bang the Universe began a period of exaggerated outward expansion, with particles flying outward faster than the current speed of light. This explanation is known as inflation theory, and has widespread advocacy within the astrophysics community because it reconciles theory with observation. It should be noted, however, that inflation theory is not directly verifiable.

Answer 4

We don't know where that matter came from. That's incredibly different from saying that it doesn't exist. We do know that if some intelligent being created that matter (and there's no reason to think that one did) then that being would have no impact on the universe from the Big Bang onward, and consequently couldn't be the god of any creation myth.

Speaking of creation myths, isn't it ridiculous to suggest that something as complex as the universe must have been created, yet that creator, who must be more complex still, could have just existed forever?

Answer 5

No idea. Let's keep learning so we can find out.

Science is about new discoveries. But why assume that everything yet explained must be the result of a Christian god? That seems to be jumping to conclusions.

If you can say "god did it," to every question, then there would be no reason to learn or study things. Modern medicine wouldn't exist, and neither would the agriculture that supports 6 billion people on our planet.

Do you always feel that religion must rest in the gaps where science has yet to tread? Or remain opposed to science? I'm not trying to make excuses here, I simply find your logic flawed.

Answer 6

Who said the universe was created?

The matter could have come from any number of places. For all we know it coulda been the leftovers from the last universe.

Also, doesn't it seem a little strange to ask this, without even considering the question "Where Did God Get His Base Materials From?"

Answer 7

So, in your ever reasonable mind, since one "theory" is invalid, it automatically makes your claim valid? That's stupid. Seriously.

Have you ever thought that maybe that singularity that expanded into the universe we know of today had always existed? Maybe it was there, just waiting, like a little walnut on the floor and it just happened to go boom? Don't need a supreme being for that.

You've heard the story of the tree falling in the woods. It's not whether we heard it or not (does it still make a sound?), it's whether anyone pushed it over for it to fall. These things happen on their own. As did the universe.

Answer 8

I'd throw this question right back at you. Do you have evidence that there is a God? Can you really, truly say for certain?

No no, don't look at the Bible, don't look at the wonders of nature, look around you. Can you see every iota of matter in the universe and know that God created it, that God is in all things?

I doubt it. However, I don't completely write it off, either. Sure, it's possible, but it's also NOT possible.

Answer 9

0+0 = 0 basic maths

The theory of evolution doesn't deal with how life began - you're thinking of abogenesis

here is some information on the big bang http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang

To be honest I have no idea how it started but that's because we haven't figured it out yet. You're attempting to use the god of the gaps argument http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God-of-the-Gaps. This argument is lazy. I dont know something=therefore god.

Atheists don't believe in a creator so asking "who created it" is just silly

Besides it doesn't explain where your god came from. If everything requires a creator then so does your god. If you think your god doesn't require a creator then clearly everything doesn't need one

Answer 10

In the beggining when earth was just formed there were the raw materials of life. these elements include oxygen water, co2, lightining, etc, and of course the sun. Well in the water the raw materials came together and and then lightining struck and the first cell came to life. Since then life has evolved over billions and trillions of years. This is known because scientists have performed this experiment with special apparatus. they have mimicked the raw materials
of life, added h2o and with an electric spark they have created life.

Answer 11

Everything "natural" must have a "cause". Where did stars and planets come from? They say the big bang. Where did the ball of matter come from for the big bang? They don't know.

At some point you have to have an uncaused cause. That is God. He is eternally existent, without beginning or end.
