Atheists, what do you think of this?

Here's what I think of it: The first sentence is "Before the universe began, there was nothing." This is false. I don't need to read any more. (Tho I might later, just for giggles.)

When someone bases their argument on something they THINK others believe but that turns our to be untrue, it is a strawman. Atheists do not believe that things came from nothing. Does anyone? (Maybe those who say God poofed everything into existence from his position in nothingness, but I'll leave that for now.)

Bottom line: An argument fails when it begins with a false statement.

Curiously some physicists (Chris Wilson at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, and his colleagues) have managed to cause a vacuum (i.e. nothingness) to spontaneously emit photons which did not previously exist... so that kind of puts a hole in your big bag of assertions, doesn't it?

Before the universe began, there was nothing. Nothing had no substance, no mechanics, no dimensions, no time, and no properties.

- Prove that. It is simply an opinion.

- Also, "nothing" does not exist, join the 21st century.

Who cares how the universe was created, and seriously.. that's just stupid. This is how I explain it. I DONT FREAKING KNOW HOW THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED I BUT I KNOW IT WAS YOUR BIBBIDY BOBBIDY BOO OF A GOD!

if thats your argument then what created god?

Quite a stupid Link..since NEITHER Science nor atheism claim that the universe formed out of Nothing.

ONLY delusional christians claim that everything came from nothing,,they claim that their godling created everything from NOTHING by speaking a magic spell...

more bullsh*t - you got to try selling this crap to somebody who's as stupid as you are.

It's retarded. It's what I've come to expect from creationists.

Who said that was the initial condition of the universe?
