Atheists, how can the world begin from absolute nothing?

How can something generate from absolute nothing? I don't buy the big bang theory as something would have to cause that, maybe you would say it was gasses.

First of all, no atheists ever said that world came from nothing.
Second, if you can't buy the big bang theory because you don't know what caused it, may I ask you, how did God came to being? From nothing?

@JBird As I have already answered in another section, if you read the bible, God has no beginning, he has no end, ''I am the Alpha and Omega''. Even Richard Dawkins is not 100% God exist, he said he's 99.9 % certain God doesn't exist, what about that one remaining %?

@Andy69 I don't know if you know this, but in science, energy can't be created nor destroyed. What if some energy caused big bang? I am no scientific nor an expert to explain big bang theory.

Also, I am an atheist and if I remember not every atheists reject a fact there is something that creates and controls the universe. We, atheists, just don't believe the lines along religious books or texts.

@JBird Yes, energy can't be created or destroyed, isn't that Einstein's theory ? That in itself tells us that the soul survives death, a team of scientists from Salisbury admitted that energy exists after the brain dies, now, I have never had an out of body experience but there seems to be some credence to their claims, I cannot argue with them.

*Sigh* universe is full of mysteries and we only know just a handful of only those. That's what I always believe.

The problem with big bang theory is that it is predicated upon the laws of physics; which is a paradox; the same forces that are theorized to cause the big bang would have prevented it from occurring to begin with...

According to physics, a singularity can't expand/explode into matter, only energy.
A singularity/black hole needs external matter to form to begin with (they can't just appear out of thin air so to speak)
Any explosion, no matter how small or how big, everything from a firecracker to a supernova, needs space to expand into (if there was nothing before big bang, where did the space come from?)

If the laws of physics did not exist outside of this supposed singularity, (things like gravity, mass, density, heat/energy, etc.), it could never expand beyond it's own borders... aka, it would have been a big dud instead of a big bang... lol
