Ok creationists: Stop characterizing the atheist position as everything came from nothing. [Spirituality & Religion]

What makes you think nothing existed? What makes you think nothing is even possible?
Anything but the bible?

Well then stop pushing your religious assumptions on the rest of us.

This has been a public service announcement.

What other phrase would you use to describe the vast emptiness of space?

Also, I would like both sides of this argument to stop deciding for everyone else that their position is the only right and true position on the topic.

I'm a Christian, but I fail to see why or how one view overrules the other.

Not sure what you mean by this in the context of this thread...

[/u]Pikachu didnt say his position is always right, or even say what his position is, exactly, he just objected to being told, falsely, by creationists what his position is.

Aren't you guys meant to be the ones who are told to not bear false witness?

@firefall He made a blanket statement, so I did as well. No false witness, just a sweeping generalization.

@Pikachu "Also, I would like both sides of this argument to stop deciding for everyone else that their position is the only right and true position on the topic."

I was referring to both creationists and those who claim scientific theory. As I'm sure you've seen, [b]some[/b] feel that any that don't agree with them absolutely and 100% then they are absolute morons/the most incorrect person on the planet/damned to eternal Hell.

I was simply piggybacking my psa on yours.

@Pikachu Primordial reality works. I like that.

@xixgun He made a blanket statement about creationists. YOU were dishonest and deceptive by assigning him YOUR presumption of his position, which to my eyes certainly seems a fit for the description 'bearing false witness'.

@firefall Then I guess I'm bound for Hell according to you. Happy now?

It's funny that you take more offense at my comments to Pikachu than he does.

[i]Nothing is ever entirely nothing[/i].
'Space' is filled with virtual particles snapping into and out of existence, and generating a range of effects while doing so... including light, which appears from 'nothing'.

a Big Bang occurred... the rest is unnecessary complication that contributes nothing.
