Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit
“What could cause the spontaneous appearance of a universe?”
Professor Stephen Hawking “Brief Answers to the Big Questions”
Answer, Part One
“[At] the sub-atomic level, you enter a world where conjuring something out of nothing is possible. At least, for a short while. That’s because, at this scale, particles such as protons behave according to the laws of nature we call quantum mechanics. And they really can appear at random, stick around for a while and then vanish again, to reappear somewhere else.”
but and it’s a very big BUT!
now that you’ve said “… at the sub-atomic level …” you’ve also said nothing wasn’t really nothing
Answer, Part Two
”The laws of nature itself tell us that not only could the universe have popped into existence without any assistance, like a proton, and have required nothing in terms of energy, but also that it is possible that nothing caused the Big Bang. Nothing.”
but and it’s another very big BUT!
not only have you said nothing wasn’t really nothing now that you’ve said “… the laws of nature itself …” you’ve also said nature existed before it was
Answer, Part Three
“It is a metaphysical principle that things which begin need a cause; it is also self-evident. All science and history would collapse if this law of cause and effect were denied …. Also, the universe cannot be self-caused—nothing can create itself, because until it exists, it is not in a position to cause itself.”
but and it’s yet another very big BUT!
not only have you said nothing wasn’t really nothing not only have you also said nature existed before it was now that you’ve said “… nothing can create itself …” you’ve also said nothing comes from nothing
after everything you’ve said your assumptions of existence beg the question
from where did the stuff come from which you say came all the stuff we see
As confusing as all this may be it makes sense to some degree for once is said "There is no God!" all other words seem rather odd.
