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.

From your perspective, where did everything come from?
@ms20182878

Don't know

@Pikachu It seems that you don't like the idea that something comes from nothing. Can you explain why you don't like that possibility?
@ms20182878

It seems that you don't like the idea that something comes from nothing.

Well then you'd be wrong. I would have no issue with that, were that shown to be the case.
But i repeat: what makes you think nothing was ever the state of being? Why should we think nothing is even possible? Has anyone ever directly or indirectly observed nothing?

@Pikachu I think many people can't comprehend the idea of nothing and get confused and think a vacuum is nothing.
@canusernamebemyusername

I think that must be part of it at least.

No worries. It just makes it hard to tell who you're talking to, not to mention that the person to whom you're replying may not be alerted that you replied to them

@Pikachu I must say that your position is a bit confusing to me. Is it your position that everything came from something, but that there was no creation involved in any of it... it all just happened somehow?
@ms20182878

My position is that we came from some state of existence the precise nature of which we are not certain.
Could even be nothing but i've never seen nor been presented with any reason to suppose that nothing is even possible.
