How can existence come from non-existence?

Question

Where is the intermediate?

And your going to Use the "Who created God"argument, I'll gladly give an answer

Answer 1

Out of nothing, nothing comes... Q.E.D.

That is a proof. You cannot get something from nothing. So, if you do not exist, you cannot come into existence.

Now, the where did God come from question... Logically, philosophically speaking, the law of causation says that EVERY CAUSE HAS TO HAVE AN EFFECT. So, God caused man. It is not a PRE-REQUISTIE that something caused God. To have an eternal, self existant being is logical, simply because we know that there was a time when nothing (in the material sense) existed. So something had to CAUSE IT. Something had to give it being. You cannot have a void of space and then get a big bang and planets, that is illogical. Simply stated, nothing will still be nothing 10 to the 789th power years from now.

Answer 2

Are you asking ancient Greek philosophers for the answer or are you asking the Nuclear physicists. In both cases the answer is the same. It does but nobody knows exactly how it works.
The most ancient of our stories to deal with it are Egyptian and they have a great ocean of Chaos. Chaos is formless and void in the sense of lacking shape or meaning. Out of this Night pulls the first of the Gods to begin creation of the world by giving it meaning.
Our newest myths have the void, the quantum vacuum where a random fluctuation gave rise to space time and matter which expands to become the universe in nanoseconds.

I am not sure which is the better story. However quantum mechanics eliminate the intermediate state. Once the probability wave collapses things either are or are not. That is the point of Schroedinger's Cat.

Answer 3

'something from nothing' is not the evolution argument; its the creation argument. Creationists say god just poofed the universe into existence, if that isnt 'something from nothing' that i dont know what is. As others have pointed out, that argument makes no account of who poofed god into creation. If, as you claim, everything needs a creator, and things just cant poof into existence, why does god escape this problem?

Evolution deals only with life on this planet developing from microbes and bacteria into life as we see it over billions of years. Evolution does not involve plenetary bodies or the origin of the solar system. Those theories are in different fields, and are all well accounted for by astro physicists and astronomers.

Answer 4

The "intermediate" is just the human being's limited understanding of creation and existence. Why does an intermediate have to exist? Why cannot a one-celled organism form just by random mistake of circumstances and from that one organism, the rest all just fell in behind?

Answer 5

Existence doesn't come from non-existence. All things come from other things...

But that doesn't mean they need to be consciously created. Many small things can come together and clump into a big thing. Big things likewise can break down into small things.
Parts of one thing can break off and meld with parts of another thing.... and the two things left aren't the same as the ones there before.

The Universe changes, as does all in it. There are no beginnings or ends.... Nothing is created or destroyed. It just seems that way because you cannot so easily see the parts that came together to become it..... or where they go again when its nature as you know it ceases to be.

And that..... is why your creator god is superfluous and unnecessary.

Answer 6

If existence can become nonexistence than logically,nonexistence can lead into an existence.Intermediate is a midway point from where this change or transformation takes place from one state o another.Also,both the states are relative and not absolute.An existence or otherwise has a meaning if there is a recognition mechanism. like, if I don't recognize your existence,you are practically non existent for me,though it may not be true.But ,that is a separate issue.

Answer 7

The same argument used for God, it's always existed. Basically covered in the First Law of Thermodynamics.

Answer 8

Something can't come from nothing eh? Then how did God come into existence? I will gladly read your answer. You had best message it to me though. Or I'll probably never see it.

Answer 9

I'm not sure. Can it?

Incidentally, there is no scientific theory that I've ever heard of that suggests existence can come from nonexistence.
If you're referring to the Big Bang, abiogenesis or evolution, they are all processes involving changes to already-existing matter.

Answer 10

Two haploid gametes come together to form a diploid zygote in sexual reproduction. The zygote cells replicate and begin to differentiate and continue to do so. They receive nutrients, hormones, and other necessary things from the parent and eventually are born. There you go.
