why do so many claim God made everything out of nothing?

Question

i continue to hear this from both sides of the coin...God made life out of nothing....but that is not what the bible says. it says that he created the first life on the planet out of water (genesis 1:20-21)  and that adam and the animals were made out of the dust of the earth (genesis 2:7,19)

so why keep saying he made them out of nothing? and why does science not see that we share dna with animals because we were made out of the same material by the same Creator...not because we evolved from animals?

Think about it

if you trace it back far enough.......everything did come from nothing

if there is no God, then it just magically poofed from somewhere

it hasn't always been here, the nature of matter to degrade shows us that

You are misquoting Scripture btw...it only says He made man out of the dust of the earth

nothing about fish or animals

God didn't create the world the way that the bible says so. The bible was not written by god; it was written by humans and was not intended to be interpreted literally as so many people do today. I believe that there was a 'creator' since something can't come from nothing, but the way the bible describes the creation of earth is scientifically impossible and was written a long time ago when people didn't know there were other planets etc. I think something must have been there to kick start the universe, but I don't think we will ever know for sure how life started.

Read or search vacuum energy. Physics of how mass created out of energy. The artist or creator who knows that physics and practically applies to create world out of nothing is know as god.

You just gave me a very rude and pompous answer on a question I asked in Marriage and Divorce. Knowing that you are a religious zealot completely downgrades the credibility of your answer. There is no God, the Bible is a book of fairy tales designed to trick poor people to work for free for "salvation", and the Earth's origin (and the life on it) is beyond human comprehension (that's why we have computers/simluators).

Why do many supporters of the Big Bang say the universe expanded out of invisible/virtual super sub-atomic particles...AKA nothing?

Because God is spirit, people have difficulty understanding that spirit is not "nothing".  Spirit transcends the physical.  God created the physical using spirit.

Then where did water come from, where did god come from? You're saying everything needs a creator but when you exclude god from needing one, you're being highly ignorant

I know your answer.  Keep thinking.  Or you can try reading genesis with a dictionary.  Define void, darkness.
