The question (how do you make something from nothing?)presumes that something created the Big Bang before the Big Bang happened. But since time itself was created in the Big Bang there is no 'before'. As we are not at the end of our evolutionary development, we cannot hope to understand everything, in the same way that we would not expect a cat, however smart, to understand the stock market.

Make you honey from nothin' and your milk for free...man, I love Dire Straits!

I can't make honey for the same reason I can't make plutonium. That isn't how reality works. The probability of me generating honey on demand is so slight that if we stood around for a million years I might never produce any honey at all. But bees do it all day long, they were doing it before people were around to realize the honey was there. The system worked for a couple billion years before we showed up. There are tests which can be run on really old crap to determine what crapped it out and when it was crapped and what the thing crapping ate to make the crap. There are no tests to determine there is a god, you have to believe it, that is your only option, and for a lot of people that isn't good enough. Just learn to get along anyway. I'm not going to hastle you for your bizarre beliefs, so don't hastle me for my bizarre beliefs, m'kay.

Interviewer and interviewees are stupid. One asks stupid questions and the others cannot properly respond!

Guest (203 days ago)

what in idiot... ok 1. if there was a god, it would be imposible to match a gods power so there for a human would not be abble to create what hes asking. and 2. That guy obviously knows nothing of the scientific logic behind athiesm. you cant create things from nothing, but hes asking "make honey without bees" thats imposible, unless you were to somhow digest the nectar from flowers with a mild acid... hes just asking stupid ilogical questions
   

Guest (203 days ago)

"scientific logic behind athiesm"? You what??????

Guest (204 days ago)

Favourite comment: "I cant believe no one asked who made god. "
   

Guest: aj (203 days ago)

they probably did...its edited
   

Guest: Your question answered (203 days ago)

"Who made god?" The answer is the same answer to the question "Where did the matter and energy come from to make the big bang?"
      

Guest (202 days ago)

Not at all, there are consistent theories that can explain the creation of the universe with very few presuppositions. Whereas to create god, you'd need an even more intelligent creator.
         

blongBlong (202 days ago)

'Very few' presuppositions is too many - you need no presuppositions, otherwise you're not creating something from nothing.

You see a painting and you think there must be a painter, you see creation and you ask there must be a creator. His name is Jesus.
   

Guest (198 days ago)

I'm not religious, but seriously dude, check your history. Your church will tell you that Jesus was the son of the big guy with the beard - the creator. Been listening to the same story all your life without ever really grasping the concept, have you?

Guest: Jack (203 days ago)

Who made god? Thats an easy one, we did and we created him in our image.
   

Guest (198 days ago)

Succinct and spot on. This guy's questioning underlines the fact that he has never done well in science at school and therefore stopped questioning the existence of life on earth, preferring to dumb it all down with this Intelligent Design nonsense. Are we really in the 21st century?

Guest (203 days ago)

The god who commands his followers to stone people who gather sticks on Saturday to death can make honey from nothing.

Guest: Yes I am a Christian. P1 (203 days ago)

Just as an atheist can ask a Christian "where did God come from" I put it to the atheist "where did the matter/energy come from to make the big bang?". The big bang states theory says (basically) that the ENTIRE universe was created by random events. That rocks from space carried some form of organic matter to earth and over millions of years somehow formed proteins, which then somehow formed bacteria then somehow or other evolved to humans.
   

Guest: Yes I a a Christian. P12 (203 days ago)

I could go on and ask why don't we see any monkey/human hybrids half way through the evolutionary cycle, but I won't. Which is easier to believe: that a higher being formed the universe as in Genesis, or evolution? What's `nicer` to believe: that your life is a random fluctuation or that your life has a purpose in a far greater plan? I'm open to answers.....
      

Guest (202 days ago)

"I could go on and ask why don't we see any monkey/human hybrids half way through the evolutionary cycle, but I won't." Do you know ANYTHING about evolution? Evoltuion dictates that would not expect to see monkey/human hybrids today - you would expect to see them in the past (and we do).
         

Guest (202 days ago)

"What's `nicer` to believe" - That the world is made of chocolate, and I won't die, but be whisked away to a tropical island full of naked Kylie Minogue types. Doesn't make it true though does it?
         

Guest (199 days ago)

If evolution did happen, why is it not happening now?
            

Guest (198 days ago)

It is you impatient tit
      

Guest (202 days ago)

"Which is easier to believe: that a higher being formed the universe as in Genesis, or evolution?" It's easier (or more comforting) to believe that the bible is true, (if we ignore the obvious question about who created god - a question that is harder for creationists to answer than to ask what came before the big bang). That does not make it any more likely to be true. Oh, and FYI, nobody believes that evolution formed the universe.
      

Guest (198 days ago)

Life on earth is the result of many beautiful coincidences. I have great plans. If you could break away from the idea that we're all pawns of a mighty puppet master and have faith in your own existence right here and right now, then we could probably chat over a beer sometime. If believing in a higher power makes you sleep better at night then I think you're missing the point.

"That rocks from space carried some form of organic matter to earth" Whaaaaaaaaaat!
      

Guest (199 days ago)

Quote from vitalinfo.org / 1.3_birth_earth.htm Page titled From Birth to Planet Earth "In addition, the oceans received organic matter from the land and atmosphere as well as from newly arriving meteorites and comets."
         

Guest (196 days ago)

Latest comment: "Oh, sure, it COULD be true, but the big bang theory doesn't require it to be true as the original poster indicated. "
      

Guest (199 days ago)

In addition a quote from an artical on a metorite - a rock from space, yes - found in Tagish lake "Organic matter in meteorites is a subject of intense interest because this material formed at the dawn of the Solar System and may have seeded the early Earth with the building blocks of life"
      

Guest (199 days ago)

So whether or not the correct terminology was used, it is valid theory held by most scientists that meteorites brought early organic matter to earth from which we either directly evolved or after combining with current matter on earth.
