I’m not sure I follow the logic of Lawrence Krauss...

If something came from nothing, nothing is not nothing, it is something. By attributing creative powers to nothing, one has made something out of nothing.

He seems to be attributing creative powers to emergence, without any evidence nor cause-and-effect relationship.

“Nothing from nothing leaves nothing/gotta have somethin’/if you wanna be with me...’’.

Every Sunday we Orthodox pray in Divine Liturgy about—and to—God who “brought us from non-existence into being”.

I don’t agree.

And so according to this clown, I know nothing. But nothing turns into everything so I must know everything - or at least I will know everything as soon as everything comes from the nothing I know. Or something like that.

(Oh man, my brain hurts.)

But something had to be here before nothing was here otherwise there would be no place for nothing to come to.

I prefer the version that has been around for years; decades?

"At first there was nothing.
Then it exploded,"

The only commonality amongst men is not knowing the answer to the big question. Faith is good but it's called 'faith' for a reason. It's ironic that so very many millions have killed and have died upon the insistence that they know.

That the universe arose from nothing is pretty consistent with Christian teaching which is that God created everything ex nihilo, (out of nothing). His problem is that he cuts the creator out of the equation and supposes that somehow matter can act, (self create), and do so before it exists, which is astonishingly silly.

Rene Descartes said, “I think, therefore I am.” I say, “I think I think, therefore I think I am.”

I was in the era of endoctrinization that included Locke, Berkley, and Hume, the empiricists, if you can believe that.

“Evolution professor Lawrence Krauss is now saying that the universe, and everything in it, came from nothing.”

So? I believe the universe came from nothing, but I'm a creationist. The universe sprang into existence when God willed it. Isn't that pretty much what the Bible says?

At some point, evolution or creation both come down to faith. This universe is all chance, or it was created. If it was created, and I believe it was, then trying to define or fully understand the Creator is a fool's errand. Why? Because our measuring tools are based entirely on this universe. A universe Creator would be beyond time, length, height, width, mass, etc. The existence or lack of a creator cannot be proved using earthly measures. At some point, it comes down to faith.

For me, the Bible offers a compelling, plausible explanation for why we're here. I believe Christ was telling the truth. Therefore, I believe.

If something came from nothing, nothing is not nothing, it is something...or, something coming from nothing is outside man's experience and understanding - hence, there is something beyond the nothingness from which something came, maybe we might call it God......

What is this? An Abbott & Costello schtick?
