That out of nowhere a earth, planets, air, people, stars including the sun, animals, and other things just "popped" into the universe. That noone created all this. How can "nothing" create something?(or how can there be nothingness and all of asudden something?) How can this all be here without a creator? Everything has a creator so how can the earth itself not have a creator? how can there just be empty space. There had to have a been some type of being in the empty space to have created the earth? If there is no God what is the point of human kind, animals, and the earth? Why would there be no point to live?

First...A creator doesn't make anything out of nothing either. I can't create a TV without parts.
Second...Noone is the lead singer for "Herman's Hermit's", Peter Noone. "No one" is two words.
Third...If "everything has a creator" then who created god?
Forth...I live for myself, my family, my friends, my dog....That is my point in life.

"...that out of nowhere a earth, planets, air, people, stars including the sun, animals, and other things just "popped" into the universe."
No, it's not random. Study gravity, angular momentum, and astronomy. They discuss how galaxies, stars, and planets form. There is no need for a creator, and no reason to assume that a god played in building the universe.
Using god to explain the natural universe is an appeal to ignorance. If god invented the stars then he must also have invented the black plague. But saying a god did it doesn't expand knowledge or help to treat the diseased.
BTW, 99% of space is empty and the earth is only a tiny fragment of the universe, which contains billions of galaxies. We're a mote of dust.
"If there is no God what is the point of human kind, animals, and the earth? Why would there be no point to live?"
I think, therefore I am. I create meaning in my own life, even though I realize that all meanings are transitory and require cognition to exist. I love my life!
Are you saying if you were not Christian (say one version of Theravada Buddhism which is atheistic) that your life would have no meaning? That's just sad.
All of these feelings that a god must exist to provide order and harmony to the universe are baseless. They're instilled by churches and religion to continue belief in a system that doesn't really stand up to reality.

No. I don't believe that things just popped into the universe. In fact, I believe that the universe was never empty. Since there was never "nothing," I don't need to believe that "something" came from "nothing."
I believe that the natural laws of the universe allowed for the Earth to be formed from a spinning Nebula.
It's also not the case that everything has a creator. Can you prove that everything that exists must have been created?
The point of living is to find meaning in one's own existence. I don't feel the need to have my life defined externally.

What difference does it make where it all came from? Why do you need to know? How do you KNOW that everything has a creator?
If there IS a god, what is the point of human kind, animals and the earth?? Is the point of human kind merely to spend an iota of time in the scheme of things on this planet worshipping a mysterious being in the sky? Do you really think THAT is the point of living???

There are several scientific misconceptions in your question, but let us set them aside for now.
The basic point seems to be "Everything has a creator so how can the earth itself not have a creator? " earth=universe
The classic answer to that is Who creates the creator? If something can be self creating, why not the universe?
None of the items you catalog in your question just "'popped' into the universe"; the narrative of their emerging into the universe is known at least in outline.
Nothing creating something: That is interesting; I am not sure that this has not happened many times.

Why do you find it easier to believe that a God that could creat the earth, planets, air, people stars including the sun, animals and other things, just "popped" into the universe...or just outside of where the universe is... to make the universe, than you do that all that stuff just popped into the universe by itself?

You say "Everything has a creator......" So who created your god? I know the pat answer, god has always existed. Well maybe the universe has always existed. The energy all things are made of has always existed just perhaps in different forms. You find that so hard to believe and yet you willing accept that a invisible, all powerful being just created everything out of nothing. The point of life is to live, to experience, to expand ourselves beyond our ancestors. And your only point of life is to worship an imaginary being and look forward to death? Your way sounds pitiful, shallow, and naive.

I do not believe things just "popped" into the universe. I don't think existence just "happened". I don't know what there was before the very first cells appeared, nor do I particularly care. Cells created new cells, evolution happened, time moved, planets formed, pent up energy created solary systems, I guess that's how it all pretty much happened, but who cares? We have a few minor problems at THIS moment, war, sickness, global warming, etc. Why would I possibly care about how the universe was created? It sovles none of my problems, but you go ahead and keep going to church and have every one of your questions "answered". But I'll be busy living in the present solving problems of the PRESENT and FUTURE.

No, I don't. I accept the position of science that after the big bang hydrogen clouds becane condensed by their own gravitational impetus, eventually to the point of reaching densities extreme enough for fusion to occur and suns to form. Then, billions of years later, some of these suns went supernova, releasing the denser elements created by their fusion, from which all non-hydrogen matter in the universe is created. I accept this because it's the position that is most in evidence, I don't know what your question has to do with atheists, sounds like creationism to me.

You have it a little wrong, the universe "expanded" from a singularity. See this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Big_Bang and this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang
And do you really believe some supernatural God dude created everything out of nothing? Believe what you want, but the Big Bang Theory is supported with more evidence than any God. And the Christian God certainly isn't supported with evidence, it CONTRADICTS science again and again.

"a earth, planets, air, people, stars including the sun, animals, and other things " didn't just pop out of nowhere. They took millions of years to develop. Billions, even.
