Why do Atheists keep saying virtual particles pop into existence out nothingness ?
Absolute Nothingness does not exist ! No one has ever observe absolute nothingness because something always existed! From nothing, nothing comes. Virtual Particles are popping into existence from something. That something can be invisible to us. These particles can be changing form, from 4,5,6 dimensions back to 3 dimensions. Rest assure these particles are not popping into existence out of Absolute Nothingness !!!

Virtual Particles are popping into existence from something.
- GOOD, prove it and win a Nobel Prize.
That something can be invisible to us.
- Yes, it "can" be, but there is that proof and evidence stuff again.
These particles can be changing form, from 4,5,6 dimensions back to 3 dimensions.
- Yes, "possible" but again, proof and evidence.
Rest assure these particles are not popping into existence out of Absolute Nothingness
- Good, you have proof, show us.

Even if you did find some way to disprove some accepted theory, I still would not believe your assertions that a god or gods exist. Since you posted this where the topic is religion, your intent must have been to prove your unsupportable notions by trying to discredit some other idea. Unfortunately for you, that isn’t how it works, and no matter what happens with the scientific theories it does absolutely nothing to support your position. That has to be done on whatever merits your position has and nothing else.
For example, if Navajos had proven Lamarckian evolution incorrect, that wouldn’t mean the right answer was that the world had been created by Rabbit Boy kicking around a blood clot.

I am atheist and have NEVER said that...
Humor me though, what was the source of your rebuttal and do you offer any expertise to your claims?
The absolute nothingness does not sound like a common scientific theory, most believe primordial/base particulates always/do exist and recycle/repurpose themselves constantly. I should bot even say most, as this is another assumption. I can say most of the scientists/physicist I know and talk to regularly believe this.

Okay then. There has never been absolute nothingness. Problem solved! That doesn't suddenly make your favorite deity exist. It just means that we don't fully understand our reality, which is expected, and it's also expected that people will come up with culturally relevant creation myths to try and explain it. So there are thousands of religious views.

It is scientists who say this. Some of them may be atheists, some of them theists, and most of them see the existence of God either way as irrelevant to the science.
Incidentally 'absolute nothingness' does not exist in quantum physics. A vacuum is full of all sorts of things - as you say!

Atheists don't say that, cupcake. Maybe some physicists (and even some physicists who are atheists) say that... I don't know. I do know that quantum mechanics is pretty weird and I don't pretend to understand it...but overall, the premise of your question is false since atheists - as atheists - don't say that.
I suggest you ask about this in the Physics section, where such a question belongs...you know... if you're serious about getting a real answer.

Actually, you are so ******* wrong that you are clueless as to what you are talking about. Particles DO pop into and out of existence out of nothing (this version of nothing being empty space). This is due to quantum uncertainty, and quantum fluctuations of space-time due to this uncertainty. Read "A Universe from Nothing" by Lawrence Krauss.

When physicists say 'nothing' they don't mean absolute nothingness.
Learn a thing or two about the topic before you start ranting about it.

It would be breaking the laws of physics for something to come from nothing. Matter cannot be completely destroyed and matter cannot come from nothing. Theists will always say "according to atheists the universe came from nothing" this delusion is completely fabricated. Just because we don't know what existed before the big bang, doesn't mean there was nothing.
Unlike your God who managed to create matter out of nothing and break his own laws of physics.

Ok. So the universe always existed.
Congrats, you agree with an atheist!
(However, you can't just claim that there are 6 other universes that these particles are dancing between without some evidence.)
