Nothing = Nothing

On October 19 at CC we discussed the beginning of our universe and why it is logical and probable that God exist and this God created the universe.  Here is the argument I presented:

Is it more reasonable to believe that:

nothing can produce something

Or is it more reasonable to believe that:

something produced something

Now when I use the term "nothing"  I mean absolutely nothing. No atoms or anything we currently have knowledge of or have no knowledge of.

I say it is improbable that something (The Universe) was produced by absolutely nothing.

Now an argument was raised that we see randomness in the universe, so it is possible the world randomly came into existence.  There are 2 problems with this argument:


  1. The randomness we are observing is with things that already exist.  There is no possibility of randomness occurring with absolutely nothing since nothing exist.
  2. If the Universe is random, scientific observance is impossible.  Scientific theory is based on repeatable, predictable events or effects, but if the Universe is random no such scientific inquiry is possible and all scientific knowledge is luck.
Therefore something came from something.
