QUESTION FOR RICHARD DAWKINS AND ALL ATHEISTS:
1 + 1 = 2
1 - 1 = 0
0 + 0 = 0
0 - 0 = 0
Whether you add nothing to nothing or subtract nothing from nothing you still get nothing no matter how many times you do it
SO THEN...
Using the scientific method of observation and repeated experiments in a laboratory controlled environment, give me an empirical example, I DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT ON FAITH, that at the time of the big bang all the matter in the universe came from nothing
REMEMBER:
I WANT EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF HOW SOMETHING CAME FROM NOTHING
I DON'T WANT CONJECTURE OR SPECULATION OR THEORIES
I WANT A SCIENTIFICALLY CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT
CONCLUSIVELY SHOWING THAT NO MIRACLE IS REQUIRED
TO GET SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A BIG EXPERIMENT, BUT BIG ENOUGH
FOR ME TO SEE WITHOUT A MICROSCOPE AS REALITY CAN BE SEEN
WITHOUT A MICROSCOPE
AN EXPERIMENT THAT ANYONE CAN DO AT HOME
AND SEE THE SAME RESULTS FOR THEMSELVES
TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP, ATHEISTS!!!!
I MEAN,
HOW THE FUCK CAN NOTHING EVEN EXPLODE???
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU EVER SAW
NOTHING EXPLODE INTO GALAXIES?
GIVE ME A BREAK, ATHEISTS!!
YOU CAN SCIENTIFICALLY PROVE
THAT SOMETHING CAN EXPLODE
LET'S SEE YOU SCIENTIFICALLY PROVE
THAT NOTHING CAN EXPLODE LIKE IN THE BIG BANG!!!
Okay, boys and girls, science is going to tell you a story
Once upon a time there was nothing. Lots and lots and lots of nothing
Gosh, there was so much nothing it filled up everything!!
Yes, everything was full of nothing and that nothing
kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger
until it finally exploded into everything
Forget the stork. That's really where you came from
You came from nothing. Ain't that something?
This happened so many billions of years ago
Oh my goodness a heck of a lot of billions of years ago
You can trust me on this because...
I WASN'T THERE!!!
This is ridiculous!
Nothing means the absence of EVERYTHING
INCLUDING PARTICLES!!!!
If particles are still popping in and out of existence
THAT IS SOMETHING
NOT NOTHING!!!!!
So, science is brainwashing people to blindly believe
that even nothing is full of something
Can they prove this with an observable scientific experiment?
I'd like to see it!!!!
A COMMENT SOMEONE MADE ABOUT THE ABOVE VIDEO:
"To take an epistemological approach, Krauss starts right off with a deft bait and switch. He starts talking about "nothing" and then proceeds to describe a non-nothing reality. When we talk about "nothing" in relation to the origin of "everything" we truly mean NOTHING. That is the absence of space-time. The absence of zero point energy. The absence of virtual particles. So he is not really addressing the idea of "something" arising from "nothing". He's playing a shell game.
Next, were these energies and virtual particles operative in the non-material, non-spatial, non-temporal reality that preceeded the universe's coming into existence? We dont know. There's no way to know. To assume they were is a HUGE leap of faith. And if we DO assume they were operative where did they come from? The question of origins is still not answered.
Then there's the problem of these subatomic particles whixh appear and disappear at random. Here's the thing, are these "new" particles that are appearing out of nowhere? Or are they old particles that are disappearing somewhere else and then reappearing where observed? Again, we dont know. There may actually be nothing new arising from this quantum state. And did you notice that the only thing appearing and disappearing are the simplest expression of matter? Nothing ever more complex. There aren't any elephants randomly appearing in people's homes. To make the stretch from the simplest form of matter randomly appearing to the whole entire universe appearing out of nowhere is just too ridiculous to consider. Of course, that doesn't stop people who rather believe anything than face the consequence of a creator God.
4 things wrong with Krauss thesis
1. He doesn't really start from "nothing".
2. He assumes the existence of conditions for which he has no evidence and cannot answer the questions , "if these energies exists without space-time, where do they come from"?
3. He points to an observation (random appearance of particles) but cannot explain the mechanism of their appearance and cannot prove that this is "new" matter.
4. He jumps from the simplest form of matter to the most complex of systems without justification."
I've decided everyone has the right to believe whatever they like
I believe in a miraculous universe
I also no longer believe in religion
I believe there is much hope in the emerging science of consciousness and quantum theory
Whether you believe this or not is irrelevant. It CURRENTLY serves me to believe this. I don't see myself going back to being an atheist. Bin there, done that
If people are happy being atheists, or Mormons, or whatever I don't see it as a nice thing to ruin their happiness in any way with my CURRENT beliefs. After all, my beliefs are always up for improvement. They may change drastically tomorrow!
FATHER'S DAY 6/15/2014 UPDATE
I woke up this morning to find 16 YouTube notifications
from people responding to my comments
Those are the most notifications I have ever received!
I've told them all that I have let the matter go
I've told them that I feel I was and idiot for caring
However, they still want to argue, argue, argue
What a bunch of morons!
Boy, was I ever an idiot
for arguing with them in the first place!
It's as though I suddenly woke up
and realized how foolish I was
for arguing with idiots!!
I honestly feel I have advanced past that point
It took a hell of a lot of arguing to slap me awake
I'd say it's about time I grew up
and invested my personal energies more wisely
I say the truly wise will allow the idiots
to believe whatever foolish thing they want

UPDATE 6/16/2014:
I've found that if a lesson in life is going to be applicable one must LIVE IT and experience the benefits. I KNEW, or thought I knew, that it was a waste of myself arguing with people on the Internet. Once I have established that I had learned all the lessons I needed to learn all arguments should have ceased.
However, in my self-indulgent ignorance, I would continue insulting the moronic idiots for being gullibly blindly trusting in science and the more I would insult them the angrier they would become. It was an endless cycle of moronic idiocy.
Then, on Father's Day weekend I felt I finally woke up and realized my idiotic folly. Suddenly what I had LEARNED became an active part of my life. I let go of all arguments about evolution and the birth of the universe and graciously allowed the idiots to believe whatever they like. I am STILL getting YouTube notifications from morons who want to argue and I refuse to yield to the temptation.
The true belief in the Sentient Force that brings everything into being is a personal one. It cannot be proven scientifically, but it can indeed be experienced. Either you are in tune with your Source, or you are not. If you are not in tune with your Source nothing will convince you. If you ARE in tune with your Source you don't need to convince anyone else of it.
