Christians and atheists, what created subatomic particles?

Question

Atheists always ask who created God. They object to the idea of God having always existed and not having a creator.

What about subatomic particles? Either they have existed FOREVER or they suddenly came into existence. Neither explanation makes alot of sense, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not true. We don't know the answers to everything.

Same thing with God. I don't think there should be a double standard to where atheists say subatomic particles suddenly appeared from NOTHING, because what created them?

And if subatomic particles have ALWAYS existed, then why attack the idea of God ALWAYS existing?

What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

God created all, he was hear eons before he even thought about creating humans. All things exist because of Him. Accept it, it is the only inteligent answer to these probing questions. Someone very intelligent had to have created these magnificent things.

Answer 2

Your starter premise about atheist perspective is off. And your thinking is compartmentalized. I'm tempted to say that is very Christian of you, but I know too many Christians who are profound thinkers and wonderful human beings to make such a bad move.

If God always existed, then where did existence itself come from? Where did "always" come from? How did "existence" or "always" originate? Where did "begin" begin, for that matter?

As for subatomic particles, one might just as soon discuss tree leaves or quarcs.

If you can consider that "nothing" is something then you can perhaps begin to contemplate why "atheists" ask these types of questions. Whether "God" or a god exists depends on the definitions subscribed to by the individual. What constitutes a "god" to you may or may not constitute a "god" to me.

As an atheist, I have a problem with the very concept itself as I feel it tends to impose limits on thinking and interpretation. Just as considering oneself "an atheist" is different than being "atheist." The first idea being more of a label to define oneself while the second being more of a descriptor or adjective.

In any case, look into zen (philosophy)? for some explanation behind the thought processes of "atheists."

Answer 3

Well, do some research on the big bang and other scientific theories and they will give you an idea of what happened. I know the big bang theory, and I know plenty about evolution, but I still choose to believe in a creator. I don't believe that God or matter has always existed. The matter had to come from somewhere. Same thing with God. He had to come from somewhere. Science might claim that subatomic particles could come from nowhere, but they say that because they have no other explanation. It doesn't mean God did it, but if you think about it logically, everything had to start somewhere.

Answer 4

Before the Big Bang, there was no such thing as matter. From a condition of non-existence in which neither matter, nor energy, nor even time existed-and which can only be described metaphysically-matter, energy, and time were all created in an instant. This fact, only recently discovered by modern physics, was announced to us in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago.

The sensitive sensors on board the COBE space satellite, launched by NASA in 1992, captured evidentiary remnants of the Big Bang. This discovery served as evidence for the Big Bang, which is the scientific explanation of the fact that the universe was created from nothing.

In the Qur'an, which was revealed fourteen centuries ago at a time when the science of astronomy was still primitive, the expansion of the universe was described in the following terms:

"And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it. (Qur'an, 51:47)

The word "heaven," as stated in the verse above, is used in various places in the Qur'an. It is referring to space and the wider universe. Here again, the word is used with this meaning, stating that the universe "expands." The Arabic word "moosiaaoona" in the term "inna lamoosiaaoona," translated into English as "it is We Who are steadily expanding it", comes from the verb "evsea," meaning "to expand." The prefix "la" emphasises the following name or title and adds a sense of "to a great extent." This expression therefore means "We expand the sky or the universe to a great extent." This is the very conclusion that science has reached today.

Until the dawn of the 20th century, the only view prevailing in the world of science was that "the universe has a constant nature and it has existed since infinite time." However, modern research, observations, and calculations carried out by means of modern technology have revealed that the universe in fact had a beginning and that it constantly "expands."

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian physicist Alexander Friedmann and the Belgian cosmologist Georges Lemaitre theoretically calculated that the universe is in constant motion and that it is expanding.

This fact was explained in the Qur'an in a time when telescopes and similar technological advancements were not even close to being invented. This is because the Qur'an is the Word of Allah: the Creator and Ruler of the entire universe.

THEN WHAT MAKES YOU TO DIS BELIEVE

Answer 5

The sum of mass and energy in the universe is constant.

You are wrong when you say that atheists object to the idea of God having always existed and not having a creator -- the only reason atheists address that concept is because god-believers sometimes insist on saying that everything that exists had to have been created. They believe that helps them support their assertion that a god must exist.

Answer 6

As an atheist I don't know the answer to that question. However I do think that the frontiers of discovery and knowledge are being pushed further all the time in the light of new evidence that is found.
One thing is for sure, the unfounded statement that goddidit is pure speculation.
As new discoveries are made the god of the gaps has less places to inhabit.

Answer 7

Prove that God exists and then we can discuss God and subatomic particles in the same question.

Answer 8

Perhaps subatomic particles come from somewhere beyond our perception, and that of our CURRENT tools. What is forever? There's no way to tell. There's no reason to insert god where understanding stops and there never will be until he steps up to the plate.

Quantum Particles make me reconsider reality.

Answer 9

I think Occam's Razor is the only point being made there.
There are fewer assumptions necessary for the existence of particles than for the existence of any deity...plus, all the other stuff others have pointed out here.

Answer 10

"Either they have existed FOREVER or they suddenly came into existence. Neither explanation makes alot of sense"

Well, not to someone with no education in the field anyway...

Answer 11

Mommy and daddy subatomic particles.
