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.

Difficult to say with any certainty. One intriguing possibility however is that the universe actually is nothing! You may be aware of the concept of anti matter and that each matter particle should have a complementary anti particle. If two particles meet they annihilate into energy. There is a puzzle as to why we appear to observe more matter than anti matter. If the missing anti matter were to exist in an undetected and complimentary anti universe, it's possible they exist in an exact state of balance and would, if summed up, equal exactly "0"! Nothing!

@GerOttman makes sense. Everything is Nothing.

without external forces acting upon it, any explosion distributes matter and energy (heat) evenly; i.e the matter in the observable universe should be consistently spread out; it isn't...

@wildbill83 ummm.. yeah?
Paliglass · 41-45, F
@wildbill83 should be consistently spread out?

As they spread and slow down the individual bits of debris will be exacting their own forces onto eachother and the spreading will be in no way consistent.


Where does that statement come from?

@Paliglass testable, observable, and repeatable science

set off gunpowder in the middle of an empty room, and you'll find the equal proportions of burnt gunpowder residue all over the walls (allowing for some minor variation in external forces like gravity, air density, humidity, etc. of the room prior to explosion)

@wildbill83 times that minor variation to the size of stars etc... Plus is this empty room a vacuum?
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
@Paliglass stars or vacuum didn't exist prior to big bang according to theory

i.e. no external forces
Paliglass · 41-45, F
@wildbill83 a room has alot of external forces.
