If we can't make something out of nothing, as the Christians tell me?

Question

How was god made?

'He's always been there' IS NOT an answer. How did god come to be from nothing?

"God was not made. He is."

Oh that's that cleared up in an intelligent logical fashion.

He existed before time and has no beginning or end. I am sorry but, the fact that He has always been is an answer, just not one you like.

SAYS WHO!!!!???
You cannot just say something and pretend it is the truth when you have no basis for it!!!

"There are many things that have always existed. For example, even before there was a physical universe, it was a fact that two objects plus two objects would make four objects. That did not have to have a beginning point or an origin. Because it is outside the physical universe.

So God can exist without having an origin in the physical universe. That is just simple common sense."

Are you for real?

Answer 1

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me

Answer 2

One of the definitions of "god" is that he is the ultimate source. Meaning for something to be "god", it would have to be creatorless. But it would not necessarily have to have existed "forever".

What the Christian faith teachs is that God is outside of the physical universe. He has not physical substance. Thus he would not be subject to the "something out of nothing" dilemna. It only applies to physical objects in the material universe.

There are many things that have always existed. For example, even before there was a physical universe, it was a fact that two objects plus two objects would make four objects. That did not have to have a beginning point or an origin. Because it is outside the physical universe.

Answer 3

He is the uncaused cause. If you have an idea that someone or something "created" God, then that someone or something would be greater than God, and therefore, would be God, unless it were created by ....well, you get the picture. He existed before time and has no beginning or end. I am sorry but, the fact that He has always been is an answer, just not one you like.

Answer 4

"Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”—Psalm 90:1, 2, AS.

God has no beginning, he has just always existed. Now about creating something from nothing, have you ever heard of E=MC2 ?

Everyone has heard of it, but not too many understand it. Basically it means energy and matter are just different forms of the same thing. The formula means Energy=(Mass) times (speed of light) squared. So energy is needed to create matter and matter can be converted into energy. Since God have an infinite amount of energy (Is 40:26) he is able to convert energy into matter easily. Therefore creation is definitly possible.

Answer 5

That's the question. Also, how could God create a universe from nothing? Either way, something is eternal. Due to the lack of evidence for a magic king of the universe, my guess is the universe itself is eternal.

Answer 6

God was not made. He is.
Anyway, science tells us that something cannot come from nothing. Christians may repeat it, but science tells us that. So where did all the matter come from that comprises our universe?

Answer 7

Clearly something came from nothing or the universe itself is eternal. I doubt we will ever honestly know.

Answer 8

Let's re-say that in a way that perhaps you can understand, as it seems you've missed the tone in that phrase "we can't make something out of nothing" ....

WE can't make something out of nothing.

Does that help?

Answer 9

God has no end, or beginning.
We have an end, since we have a beginning.
the earth has an end, since it had a beginning.

Answer 10

It's above all of our understanding. You assume any information out there can be detected and understood by the human brain. think bigger and outwardly please
