#9 Atheists what would be your LOGICAL rebuttal to this evidence of the existence of God?

The “First Law of Thermodynamics” states that in a closed system, which science claims the universe is, matter and energy can be neither created nor destroyed but it can change from. Matter can become energy and energy matter. What this means is that no new matter or energy can come into existence and that there is no matter or energy which goes out of existence.
As a result those who state that the universe came from “nothing” violate the first law of thermodynamics which was established by the very same scientific community which they claim to represent. Typically some try to make nothing something by stating there were quantum fluctuations without any explanation as to how they could exist if nothing else does. Likewise some appeal to the Law of Gravity without remembering that they have also stated that the universal laws all break down completely as you approach the moment of the Big Bang. This means that the Law of Gravity did not yet exist. Gravity functions because of the existence of objects. If there are no objects then there is no gravity.
If nothing existed then the implications are clear: an outside influence beyond our sense of understanding and completely free from any control by physical laws functioned with intelligent force and deliberate intent acted to set in motion the creation of the universe. It is evident that a being that is greater than science had to create the scientific laws. No other explanation makes any sense.

Yes, this is right, and I never thought of it like this before. Thank you for pointing this out.

its a law according to our knowledge NOW, if we find something else that changes, this is why we say theory instead of actual fact because we canot falsify other hypothesis like fariting pixies, we follow the evidence to an extend

i dont believe it was a god i remain on default, it might have been a god,farting pixies ,aliens or whatever

- And like all good fundies, you COMPLETELY contradict your first statement. NOTHING does not exist. Matter/energy has ALWAYS existed.

Typically some try to make nothing something by stating there were quantum fluctuations without any explanation as to how they could exist if nothing else does

- Lets try this again - NOTHING - does not exist. Quantum fluctuations exist. Matter/energy exists, it cannot be created or destroyed. Try actual thinking.

Likewise some appeal to the Law of Gravity without remembering that they have also stated that the universal laws all break down completely as you approach the moment of the Big Bang

- And we are back to quantum fluctuations. Really, try actually reading what you type, you contradict yourself at every turn.

This means that the Law of Gravity did not yet exist.

- "Matter" gravity, not "quantum" gravity. Try reading something intelligent.

If there are no objects then there is no gravity

- Quantum gravity exists at a quantum level.

- And after that it was semantic tap dancing, making ZERO sense.

There are various possibilities. Maybe there was always some energy, since the beginning of time (if there was one). Maybe there is positive energy and negative energy, of the same magnitude, so that the total energy of the universe is zero. I think it has been established that quantum fluctuations exist, even though we may not know the cause (if there is one). I really don't know enough about them to say whether they might have caused the energy in the universe. If it is true that, "the universal laws all break down completely as you approach the moment of the Big Bang", then the First Law of Thermodynamics would be one of those laws that break down, and so it might be possible for energy to be created.

"If nothing existed then the implications are clear"
No, they are not. The conditions at the start of the universe are anything but clear under any circumstances.

Nothing made nothing into a tiny dot smaller than a period on this page which exploded containing the sun and all the stars
