What is nothing? because the word nothing is still something so is darkness and how did it all begin? and was their every nothing because their is always something their is the ground the trees, the earth, universe, everything had to come into existence somehow. I mean how do you create something out of absolutely nothing?
Quantum theory is such a wonderful thing, isn't it?
The problem I have with nothing is trying to imagine nothing existing at some point. Imagine that the world as we know it doesn't exist. You can't even define where you are in space, because there is nothing anywhere. In fact, you can't even call it space. The intangible observer is at no location and can sense nothing.
That gives me headaches.
But according to some intriguing new theoretical mumbo-jumbo, there is no nothing. "Empty" space is bubbling like a shaken Coke can. Matter is appearing and disappearing all around us, too small and fleeting to detect. Possibly the known universe started as a little bubble of spontaneous matter that happened to be big enough to stick around.
I know, I just made it all a lot worse for you. Blame Michio Kaku.
Let's assume God exists who/what created him? This is one of those things that has bugged me since I was about 11 or 12.
Now here's one I know I can answer.
Why do you start with the assumption that God must have come from somewhere or something? There is no reason why He couldn't be eternal. Assuming that everything must have an origin only makes things horribly complicated, and there is no basis for that assumption anyway. We might as well also ask questions like "What made time" or "Where does gravity's energy come from?" Occam's Razor guides the way.
By the way, matter/energy could also be eternal, but not in the same way. We can observe matter, and we know a lot about how it operates. We know that atoms are not eternal, because at one point all the matter in the universe was squished into a ridiculously small singularity with no room for wasted space like electron orbitals. Our familiarity with matter unfortunately causes many to reason about God's existence under the same rules, even though those rules have no basis when not applied to matter as we observe it. We cannot see God expanding like the universe does, nor do we know anything about his structure, or whether he has any structure that we can comprehend. It's awfully vague, and in the absence of anything solid to go on, the simplest assumption, and the one we should have until something indicates a reason to believe otherwise, is that God, if He exists, is eternal.
so what are your hangups with the universe?
I have a love/hate relationship with numerous paradoxes. Currently I am focused on a few involving Christianity. It might be stupid to psychoanalyze God, but I have a hard time leaving alone anything that I think does not make sense. Why did He bother with us? Why doesn't He make His existence obvious, provided He wants people to believe in Him?
Perhaps I should just look up some theological arguments and stop doing all the work myself.
