How Did The Universe Come From Nothing? 🌎

Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing?

Where there's there necessarily is something. To state "there is nothing" is to talk about something, particularly, of something that is, and this contradicts with the "nothing" we supposed we were speaking of. Therefore you cannot have nothing without having something, right?

You can reword it. However, it will not modify the central principle. For example: "Why does anything exist?" appears to be an absurdly trivial question once one reminds oneself something needs nothing to exist. So nothing doesn't exist. So something does exist. Let's not prevaricate either.

Looking At It From A Different Perspective

I believe all the confusion is simply because of a play on words with language that highlights an important truth. There are limitations to thought. These questions smack of a kind of absurdity, however, in so doing, demonstrate our intellectual limitations, which are worthy of thought. I assume sometimes we do not have the answers for everything and many of us are naive of the world.

Many people see it as "nothing cannot exist. Therefore something has to, but that evades the question (it presumes existence). In any case, the real answer to the question is that, contrary to popular belief, nothingness is the utter lack of constraint...a realm of unbound potential in which the laws of logic simply don't apply. It's something that stands outside of our dualistic world.

The universe as we know it is a self-consistent, self-restrictive and self-actualising potential, timelessly emerges from this background of pure freedom unto itself. Thus, nothing cannot exist because "out of nothing everything comes". However, for logical reasons, only one potential can bring itself into existence, and that potential is when I consider the possibility of God.

So the universe is essentially self-contained, we can deduce that it behaves very similar to a mind. When we attempt to answer the obvious question "whose mind", the answer seems to be the mind of God. And by "God", I mean an omnipotent, omniscience, omnipresent, omnibenevolent entity. Some might say individuals use God as the answer as we don't understand enough about the planet; however, I do not think that is the case here.

Sort:  

IMHO we use these two words when unable to express oneself, a lack of understanding the greater picture, however an answer does exist.

Quote of the day is Oh so true!

It did bring a smile to my face when I found that quote.
Seems like you can generate anything you want if you are in a position of power

I love the way you've wtitten this post. You've appealed to the common sense and logic of the human mind. It's impossible for nothing to exist. Those who are doubtful of God cannot doubt that everything in existance was created by a conscious being. The big bang didn't happen by itself. It was engineered. Speak the truth and I shall follow.
