@Moby Schtick: Chad, it's simple if you admit that we have no idea how
the universe came into existence.
We have no idea if
the universe itself came into existence or always exists in some state or other; we do know that our universe expanded from a very hot and dense state very different from what exists today.
Given the 13.8 billion years that have passed since the Big Bang, it may be enough time for supermassive black holes to grow to their gigantic sizes, but how then do we explain that some of them formed less than 800 million years after
the universe came into existence?
Not exact matches
The real question is does it take more faith to believe that mass and energy
came into existence in such a way to (relatively) evenly displace it throughout the
universe that
came into existence at the same time, or did it
come together in such a precise manner to create a supreme being that could design and build a
universe after the fact?

Without a model of quantum gravity, it is IMPOSSIBLE to describe the initial state of the
universe, or even be sure if it really was a singularity, let alone «
coming into existence from nothingness» (not that we even have an example of «nothingness» to compare to.
There are actually human beings on this forum who honestly believe that the
universe, and our own little rock that is teeming with life,
came into existence through natural processes alone, absent the workings of a creator.
That just as all the products we use
came into existence through a mind, these being consistent with reality, so likewise of not only the earth with its marvelous ecological systems, but all the
universe by which we keep time, from the passing of one day to the passing of one year allowing to keep track of time, that all these diverse, but harmonious systems are the product of a Supreme Designer for the benefit and enjoyment of mankind.
Nothingness is predicted by simple mathematics and the beginning of the
universe came from absolutely nothing, like a proton popping
into existence.

universe come into and already gone out of
existence forever ago, presuming we our a result of this «material» you speak of doing something to bring our
universe into existence?
If it took «forever» for the atoms to interact as you say, why hasn't our
universe already
come into and gone out of
existence forever ago?
None of us knows, with solid empirical evidence, how matter, and time, numbers — and the
universe itself —
came into existence.
Do we see the
universe as simply ending in a whimper, even if it
came into existence with a bang, or do we see it as capable of renewal and transformation?

They were taught to expect that this
universe of space and time
came into existence in one complex, unifying burst of intelligence, the logos in whom, by whom, and with whom all things were made, and that makes all things (no matter how humble) intelligible.
You don't know what there was «before» the
universe existed, because there was no «before» time existed, and there IS proof that virtual particles, and quantum fluctuations
come and go out of and
into existence all the time.
Nobody is claiming that «nothing» «made» the
universe, just that we don't know how it
came into existence yet.
The entire
universe, matter, time and space, apparently
came into existence out of an explosion from an object of inconceivable density — perhaps from something smaller than an atom.
The bible
came into existence to specifically refute the consept of the
universe existing out of «nothing.»
However, if you're really determined, you can always think of yet another far - fetched factor or explanation, such as matter that
comes into existence all by itself, an infinite number of
universes in which every possibility has happened or will happen in its own
universe, life and consciousness spontaneously arising out of inert matter, etc..
Furthermore, The age of the Cosmos is arbitrarily an unsubstantiated theory due the universal averaging of interstellar
universes» steadyingly declared existentialism being the motivating factor of each and every
universe coming into existance thru a steadied state of consistent fluxuations thusly bringing
into existence universes of many variating ages.
But just as it is silly to think that something as impossibly complex as DNA just spontaneously
came into existence, so it is to infinitely more silly to extend such reasoning to the
universe itself.
At the heart of the
universe, even before there were atoms or cells, there was the possibility of these entities
coming into existence.
It is living at the growing edge of the
universe, those living nodal points where the future is
coming into existence.
Which also means, if the
universe began with the big bang, then time
came into existence, and then he also existed before and transcends time.
If nothing exists beyond the
universe and All of the
universe, space and time itself
came into existence some 13.75 billion years ago then All of the
universe, space and time itself
came into existence uncaused, out of non-being.
, I mean
came «
into existence» (mysteriously popped out of nowhere); rather, it will challenge intellectual thinkers to look at life as not just a compilation of atoms / cells; rather a
universe that is controlled by powers much more awesome than the natural forces we all experience on a daily basis.
What the argument by probability does is to reflect on the «fine - tunedness» of a
universe in which life can exist, reflects on the chance of life occurring through purely random events, and concludes that the chance of life
coming into existence through purely random forces of nature is so infinitesimally small as to be almost non-existent.
All of these
universes are believed to
come into existence through a process called eternal inflation, in which at least one
universe continually expands at an incredible rate, while others form and grow within it like bubbles.
Conversely, if the vacuum energy were negative, it would cause the
universe to rapidly re-collapse and there would be no time for astronomers, at least the type we know, to
come into existence.
Our own
universe does not seem to have
come into existence this way.
A long - standing question in astrophysics is whether the
universe's very first black holes
came into existence less than a second after the Big Bang or whether they formed only millions of years later during the deaths of the earliest stars.
