Out of nothing... something???

You just don't understand it. The universe has always existed. There was no Big Bang.

/sarcasm

Well you see the matter that exists wasn't created by a god. Complicated, no?

Just because you can't imagine something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And darkness isn't 'something' it's the absence of light.

No, I don't agree in a higher plane of existence beyond time and matter. How is it that you're able to? Surely you would have trouble imagining a world beyond time and matter. That would be far harder to visualise than nothing.

Where do you get the idea that there was ever a "nothing"? It's your bible that claims there was nothing out of which "God" made "something". Most of us who don't buy into bible stories believe there was "something" out of which something came -- elements, cosmic explosions, a nursery of neverending planets, stars and life. This makes sense. The biblical god does not. If you can believe a "god" always existed you can believe that the cosmos, in one form or another, always existed.

All things we see in the natural are reflections of the spiritual. The REAL worlds are in the spiritual plane.

I agree with you totally! I have done the same thing [try to imagine nothing, and I just cant to it] There HAS TO be a God. I don't get why people do not get it..

Well, if there is only one thing (which is everything), that one thing is indistinguishable from nothing. There is no "other", no contrast, no way to tell if that something is even there, if it is all that there is.

Also, if there is only one thing, from which come many things, those other things are a part of the original one thing; there is no thing (nothing) from which those other things can be formed.

If everything comes form this first one thing, then all other things are formed from it.

That explains nothing though. It simply leaves the question, "Who created god" and if god was not created if he just always "was", than why can't that be true of the universe.

Yep. I agree. God is not a big judgmental white Guy that lives on a cloud named heaven.

Well god came out of nothing didnt he?

So much for your argument.

Science can explain back to the big bang, and before the big bang. However, they cannot explain the big bang itself. They think it happened, but cannot name the source of the incredible amount of energy that had to be interjected into the system in order to bring it about. I call that source "Let there be Light!"

Science will never accept this, because they did not think of it themselves. That is the nature of science.

Turtles Sir, turtles.
