How many times, when trying to discuss the Origins of the Universe with the Religious of this world, have you heard them say that " Something can't be created/made from Nothing therefore God created everything?
What responses, etc, have gotten in return when you merely quote back to them the very first lines of Genesis which " In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth," BUT where did God come from to create things, where did God find the materials to create things with since the states( well the ORIGINAL version at least states it) clearly that " In the beginning there was nothing except the word of God, etc, etc."
But we all know that words are just a succession of vibrations passing through the air and they cannot create matter from themselves.
So what is so different, in the eyes of the Religious, between the story of Genesis and the scientific Understanding of the Beginning of the Universe?
