Atheists: What initated the creation of the universe and all of the incredibly complex systems?

Question

I'm not trying to prove God here but would honestly like to hear what your thoughts are on this matter.

What do you believe initiated the creation of the universe and the incredibly complex systems within it such as biology/life and particle physics?

Answer 1

Your guess is as good as mine.

Answer 2

maybe the only reason that the universe appears perfect is that it had gone through so many iterations (i.e., creating and recreating itself, through a Big Bang and Big Crunch then Big Bang again) before it could produce life, and this is the only iteration that is capable of having intelligent life that is capable of studying and discovering things like physics. so we might think this universe is perfect because God created it, but this is the only universe we've ever encountered, and judging by the way things are on Earth, this might not be the most perfect iteration.

it's just like, every clock has to spin so many times before it turns to 1:00 exactly, for example. i'm not an atheist, i believe in God, but this was just an interesting idea i've always thought about. As for who started the universe lifecycle, the universe is the base of existence itself, so it has to always be "existing" or else there would be nothing.

Answer 3

I believe that is was some magnificent spacial singularity that created the universe. It has been proven how the earth has gone through many changes from its inception. No one knows...yet...how life began. It could have been through abiogenesis or it could have come to earth on a meteor when earth was being bombarded with them in the beginning. With the introduction of life...the earth was covered with single celled animals that developed chlorophyll to utilize the energy of the sun for food. The waste of that process was oxygen, and that is how we got an atmosphere that would sustain life. Everything evolved from that point over billions of years. Particle physics began in the early 20th century as an exploration into the structure of the atom. (1919 the proton), (1932 the neutron), and (1920's the field of quantum physics).

Answer 4

The universe may not have been initiated or created.The problem with your question is that it assumes that there is an initiator and a creator. You're basing your question on a possible false assumption. The universe may not have been initiated or created. These are both anthropomorphic concepts and should be discarded as such. Another error is in your statement 'complex'. Complex to whom? Us? Complexity is relative to view and location.

Answer 5

Ask a physics professor about the Universe and an evolutionary biologist about life. They are completely unrelated areas.

Having said that I have always gone with the singularity theory regarding the Universes beginning, but the theories are incredibly fluid and are constantly being refined. The math involved in way beyond most mortals comprehension, unfortunately.

Answer 6

I think that the best explaination so far is the big bang seeing as we have observable evidence that the universe is exanding along with the matter in it. I'm not so sure since its been 15-20 billion years since that happened. I also think that matter is eternal. It has always been here and always will be. The universe just doesn't pop in and out of existance. But we will probably never know. We are trapped in our little old planet where we can't wonder off too far. That limits us to what we can explore and understand.

Answer 7

In my opinion the universe is not created. Instead it is based on necessary tautological timeless mathematics. Time is an derived aspect of the universe not something the universe is embedded in. The reason we observe local complexity is because only in locally complex regions of reality could we evolve. Its kind of like the fact a falling snowflake always finds itself in a snowstorm. It doesn't mean the snowflake is created by snow pixies.

Answer 8

i honestly don't know. Creationism is just crazy and The Big Bang theory doesn't make any sense to me.

Space is one of the things that i can not even understand a little bit. It is so large and mysterious that im certain we won't have an absolutel answer for quite some time, if at all.

Answer 9

whether I % out as an atheist myself, I ought to ask your self why this is which you're behaving like a missionary your self. what's the element of preaching to people approximately their faith? faith is an considerable element of existence, and that's extremely own and frequently illogical. everybody believes in something. faith is frequently as plenty approximately relatives and custom as this is approximately philosophy. possibly, whether, I even have misunderstood the context of the communicate. As for the argument itself, i do no longer think of that your place truthfully is extra logical then your combatants. utilising the argument that a advent concept is statistically no longer likely is truthfully improper via fact it assumes a constrained information base. of direction, subsequently, his argument is likewise improper! for example, your analogy of the glass vase. You built this difficulty in accordance with information that we % out on a regular basis. whether, from the constrained volume of information that we've on the concern, the universe includes many extra "vases" then have ever been created or would be created in this earth. On an atomic point, whether, this is truthfully attainable to make certain those "no longer likely" consequences happen with some regularity, via fact there are maximum of activities that happen interior of a measurable framework. I won't circulate into too plenty element approximately this, yet once you learn present day Quantum Mechanics you will get the gist. i think of utilising an occasion of an no longer likely atomic experience is truthfully extra comprehensible, via fact it illustrates how even the least probable activities might happen incredibly frequently, via massive type of activities that happen average. Given the type of stars, planets, etc in our universe, it does not look no longer likely that earth might happen randomly.

Answer 10

The self-creation of a universe is very unlikely. Perhaps the odds are so astronomical that it might only happen once every googolplex of years. The laws of chance say that given enough time, unlikely events that are nonetheless possible WILL happen.

It is not for nothing that we say the odds of something unlikely happening are astronomical. Think about it.

Answer 11

It's just one improbable series of lucky accidents. Which, to me, makes the universe even more precious and wonderful than if it were made by some all powerful celestial guy simply because he wanted it to be. A couple of quantum branes slapped together and WHAM! We've been here ever since!
