The theory of evolution says that something came from nothing. (I know that it doesn't really say that, but I'm ignoring that point because it refutes my argument.)
My question is, if everything came from nothing, then why is there still nothing? For example, if I ask "what is greater than the universe", the answer is "nothing."
So, if everything evolved from nothing, there shouldn't be nothing. But there is. If evolution were true, then any nothing would have evolved into something, so any question I ask that has "nothing" as an answer should have "something" as an answer.
Therefore evolution is false.

No, it's proof that semantic wobble on the word "nothing" can get you all sorts of results including your disproof of God:
"...'what is greater than the universe[?]', the answer is 'nothing'."

Wow flawed logic like I've never seen ...
First off, as you probably know evolution explains the development of current species. It does not in any way attempt to explain how something came from nothing.
And <
So now to the Big Bang. Assuming it is correct, there was a lot of nothing and a very dense little ball of something that eventually exploded and filled the nothing space like gas molecules would fill a container. But nothing wasn't filled solid. There's a limited amount of something, so it just diffuses into the nothingness, leaving a bit of nothing still there.

Ok, you start out with a premise you admit is false to prove your point. Then you go to a question that you answer for us, with an answer I would also consider incorrect. What is greater than the universe is the universe to come would be my answer. Evolution is a theory of biology, not of physics. Would people please remember that.

Nowhere in the theory of evolution is there anything about something form nothing - thats in the Bible! You see I am living on a large lump of rock (with a liquid centre) not on a WORD.

You are assuming that nothing is a thing, which it is not. The word nothing is a thing (a word) but what it implies is nothing. So if you say that nothing is greater than the supreme, then that means the supreme is the greatest.

"(I know that it doesn't really say that, but I'm ignoring that point because it refutes my argument.)"
You just proved your own argument to be false. Therefore, you lost before you were even finished typing this question.

Please don't let this get out to christians. With this powerful argument in hand, evolution will quickly be proven false. I hope that cameron is not reading this post.

when someone asks us what we are thinking and we say "nothing"... is that a completely accurate account, or are we simply not able to identify or communicate what it is we are thinking about?
"nothing" is a word we use to tag those things that defy our awareness or understanding, it does not negate their existance.
