where does it state everything came from nothing?

Question

can anyone tell me where in the big bang theory everything formed from nothing? i keep reading questions where christians are trying to "disprove" the big bang theory because of this "fact".

redtoes, so it's a fact because you believe in it through faith? that's new... i'm glad you could shed some light on this subject. thanks...

so because the theory doesn't attempt to explain where all the matter in the universe came from, that means god created it? but then it's not the god who created the earth in the old testament? i'd say it more likely that non-living materials have existed far longer than any organic materials, being that all organic material is made up of inorganic parts, not the other way around.

well, i'm sold archie. sign me up and pass the coolaid. you're obviously far more brilliant than the scientists who came up with these so called "theories" so as to realize there error in pointing out their obvious stupidity in naming them theories. i mean, if they were really smart they would have just said they were science fact because god made it so, right?

driving blindly, i think you're referring to the idea of the expanding universe, when you're talking about the universe getting "bigger". it's not referring to total mass, but rather the outer reaches of universe. consider a stick of dynamite if you will. when it blows up, it is expanding, although it is still made up of the same materials before and after the explosion. this is how scientists came up with the big bang theory. the fact that the universe is expanding means, that it was at one time more dense than it is today. and if you go back far enough in time you might find that it was focus in an extremely dense singularity.

hogie, where do you get your facts from. "prior to the big bang there was nothing." really? find me one scientific textbook or article that will support this claim of yours, einstein.

hisgloryisgreat, i believe in the big bang theory, and true i can't say matter of factly that i know where all the matter in the universe came from. i can theorize though. so how about this? it's always existed. nothing created it, it's always been. you made the same claim about god. only difference between our claims is there is proof in the existence of the universe. there is not proof in the existence of god.

Answer 2

In fact, the universe has always existed. There is no such thing as "before" the "Big Bang". Whether the "Big Bang" did or did not occur is irrelevant, the way in which you look at the concept of the "Big Bang" is relevant however. The universe just keeps "expanding" infinitely, having no beginning or end. The "Big Bang" only seems like a sudden explosion because a human has a different perception of how "quickly" time goes by.

It is normal to think that the universe started getting "Bigger." Some say that if you go back in time, the universe will keep getting "smaller" but never completely disappear and therefore never actually "become" nothing. Notice how the words "bigger" and "smaller", and "become", were in "quotation" marks: The universe has not really gotten "bigger" and neither was it "smaller", it still contains the same amount of energy that it always has had.

If I can be a bit abstract, then I can say that it is ourselves whom have become "smaller", but not the universe - which is and was and always will be infinite and intangible. Just like what (some) people understand as "God."

Another abstraction can be made, where we can say that "God" simply "is" and therefore is nothing "more" or "less" but instead "he" is "eternal."

ADDITION: That dynamite exposion itself became "smaller and smaller" but never actually "became" a complete stick of dynamite, however it can be scientifically derived that this moment did "occur." Much like you can divide the number one (1) in half, and keep dividing the subsequent answers in half, but never get to zero, although it can be proven that zero exists mathematically.

Some religions state that "God" cannot be known, so asking the question of what came "before" the Big Bang could be seen as a highlight of this simple fact. Similar to how you can only really understand the concept of "zero" but never truly "know" what zero (or complete nothing) is. Because it "is not". Some religions say that "God" is simply the "emptiness."

Answer 3

The big bang theory is not something that Christians are trying to disprove, seeing as the theory or belief fits in nicely with Christian theology.

Prior to the big bang, there was nothing. Then suddenly there was matter:

Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Answer 4

Something can't come from nothing. No one, who believes the big bang theory, can answer where whatever existed in order for it to explode came from. Since something can't come from nothing, then whatever exploded would have had to exist before it existed.

God is eternal, without beginning or end.

Answer 5

They also respond to evolution theory with "I ain't come from no monkey!" If you want to know where it comes from, you have to go on one of their nutty Christian websites and try to follow the chain of lies. At times it's almost like that "whisper down the line" game you played as a kid - I keep waiting to read "How can atheists think that everything came from nothing purple monkey dishwasher."

Answer 6

it actually is the expansion of galaxies after the explosion of an extremely dense existence. I think the question is where did the original stuff come from.

Answer 7

I am NOT a Christian, but the problem with the big bang is that it doesn't explain where everything came from

it is pride to assume we can answer all questions

Answer 8

a theory is something that is yet to be a fact... so are you telling me you actually believe that there was an explosion that is expanding and made the universe? :S hmmm, so how did this explosion get it fuel to manifest? the concept of nothing or void is intresting. i can't help but think this nothing is evidence of something if you look at it honestly. if there is something there isn't nothing and if there is nothing there is no room for something... there has to be a higher power!
