Is It Scientifically Possible For Nothing To Turn Into Something

Add New Argument

Yes actually. Virtual particles constantly pop in and out of existence at the sub-atomic level. The effect from this has actually been measured experimentally, but putting two metal plates very close to each other and measuring the force.

This is actually why what we consider "space" actually is not empty.

Side: yes

No. Law of conservation of energy: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

Side: No

Conservation of energy means creationism is impossible, because creationism teaches that something came from nothing. You're welcome.

That doesn't actually help your argument. Stating that matter/energy can be neither created nor destroyed means it ALWAYS EXISTS.

How can nothing turn into something? Why doesn't life just appear out of nowhere? There must have been a creator

It is how the universe works. Everything has to had come from something. All matter and energy came from the big bang and the big bang came from an anomaly in the -multi-verse which exists mostly in the 4th dimension where every possible circumstance is happening at the same time...

It's very complex and I don't think I can do the idea justice so you should watch this video: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/sean_carroll_on_the_arrow_of_time_part_2.html

This is crazy. Even in an infinite universe the chances of the planet being perfectly tuned to support life is unthinkably unlikely without an outside influence. What is the likelihood that this is really the only planet able to support life 'continuously for millions of years', the first sign of life just appeared out of no where 'with ability to reproduce asexually', and none of that has been destroyed in hundreds of millions of years. This world as we know it would take an infinity in itself to form without help.

I guess the chances are pretty slim.. but it happened

Plus the Earth did have billions of years to form... that's a lot of time for evolution. Keep in mind a lot of single cell organisms reproduce 15 minutes that is a lot of chances for something to happen right.

In an infinite universe everything that is possible has a probability of 100%, by definition. However you miss the point of how planets, and life develops, which are both deterministic processes.

I thought it was the 11th dimension. I know the theory states the existence of eleven dimentions.

Side: No

Yeah, this is how the universe works. The Big Bang Theory. The link is great. A lot than I can explain because I am not a scientist.

I find it interesting that those that argue for evolution (that something came from nothing, or better stated that information came from nothing), claim that hybridization of animals and plants proves it. Ironic, since humans (source of information) actually are the impetus for that hybridization. A creative, intelligent being began and controlled the process.

It's simple really. Artificial selection and natural selection differ only in the one providing pressure. They work the same and provide equally effective sculpting of species.

Creationists argue that something came from nothing, via magic words

Scientists maintain that matter always existed.

Side: No

Isn't that how the universe started? There was nothing and then there was something and that something blew up?

Side: No

I dunno, you tell us, since it is your position that the universe came from nothing.

Side: No

I really am not informed on that question.

Though my layman side says no, since nothing cannot react to anything since nothing is....well....nothing.

Side: No
