Everything Was Made From 'Nothing.'

[Dreaming Of Pandora]

Here's a thread I posted on AF a while back. This will get you thinking.

Even though this thread is sorta pro-God I just want to make clear that Im agnostic.

To answer a question like this may be science's biggest breakthrough, an utterly outstanding achievement, a testament to the human intelligence. It's something science cannot prove and most likely never will be answered ever. It's truly uneasing when you give it a bit of thought.

Everything we know that exists, from the coffee that you sip to the entire universe was made from nothing.

Well that's what we know so far but there are several theories speculating the origin of the universe. Theories like our universe being one of possibly millions of other multiverses or that our universe was made by the collision of two cosmic membranes.

With theories aside, let's say that a higher form of intelligence did create our universe, who or what created the creator of our universe? And who or what created the creator of the creator of our universe. It goes on.

It's quite mind-boggling, there must have been a point in time (if time always existed, which again further complexes the question, how can something or somebody create time?) when nothing at all existed, nothing, no atoms, no energy or information to a point in time where something did exist (which again complexes the question, how can nothing create something).

So basically, our existence is based on the fact that at certain time, nothing at all existed ever.

Right now, we dont know but if we have learned anything from science it's that it is full of surprises and can take forms we couldn't imagine possible.

Uneasing as this question may be it is also comforting, if this question is true, that everything was made from nothing, then that means our existence has purpose, a reason for being here because right now, we shouldn't be here, what we know of what's physically possible says that our existence should be impossible.

I guess the short answer and probably the human answer is: Chuck Norris did it.

Any thoughts on this?
