The universe couldn't spring into existence just like that

Most of the time, you'll be talking about how the universe came to be, you'll hear lot of different answers. The most honest one is recognizable very easily. The most honest one is "I don't know". And you'll find this answer honest because - well, you don't know either. Unless you happen to be God, or some quantum physicist hidden somewhere in Area 51 and having the solution for any struggle the humanity will have to face(the latter option being a joke)

Some of the guys believe, though, they have to key to wisdom and they KNOW, how it all came to be. Well, of course the answer is pretty easy, lame and you probably thought of that answer for billion of times, always strucking out the stupid idea. Of course, there might be this old-aged man with long white hair and white beard being awfully bored and alone, who in his almightiness just got petty in his retirement and created the Universe. Yeah, and still not satisfied and bored created Adam. Then he heard something about a porn channel somewhere and he thought that this might be damn exciting idea, so he just took Adam's rib and created porn actress Eve.

Probably because of Eve being very poor actress eventually Lucifer got bored(where the fuck did he come from?) and persuaded Eve through a snake with legs to eat some cursed apple. Instead of going to sleep literaly(like in Snow white), she offered the apple Adam and miraculously both got the knowledge and were righteously angered by the knowledge, God payed them miserably for the show. National television probably payed three times more at those (as Bible puts it) perfect times. So they hided from the God. God being reasonably angry about his porn channel main's stars missing just kicked them of the business. He would probably create more competent actors. And he took out snake's legs as punishment for being Satan's tool. Very effective.

So you get to listen to this petty story of a petty man. You probably ask yourself, where's the perfection of this. And there is really lacking one if the story is put like this. But nevermind the other way of telling the story. One might ask for evidence, that it was this retired guy, who created all there is to be. And of course you get all the stories and arguments, how God cannot be tested, everything on the earth showing the existence of God(but somehow failing to point directly to him, right?) and one of the most typical answers: Well, do you know any other way how the universe could come to be? It couldn't spring into existence just like that! And couldn't come from nothing, right?

If you are not educated very well, or you haven't payed attention to what the teacher was saying in the science class, when you were at school, you might possibly consider this as a valid argument. When in fact, it is not. The statement is very wrong by many means. Well first of all, the most basic and greatest mistake in that statement is, that in science we NEVER say, something just came to be, just like that. In fact, science is all about trying to find the very reasons of most of the phenomens in the universe. With some of them science was successfull already, while some other mysteries remain unrevealed to us, yet. But not with the beginning of the universe.

We in fact KNOW there was the Big bang, which was the beginning of the universe. Now, this has been proven scientifically and as it is, we know it just happened. And we can explain some of the mechanisms of it. Before we knew this, the God was something like big bang. Now we don't know, what was before big bang. The thing is, no, that God is exactly there, now. He is before the big bang. At least according to christians. The big bang occured because God commanded it to occur. Why christian know this? Because the universe couldn't just come up like that and couldn't came up out of nothing. But science of course works with lot of possible scenarios, what was before the big bang. We can't tell for sure, that any of this scenarios really happened, but in lot of them we are certain enough, that even though these events didn't lead to actually creating THIS universe, if the universe would work the way those theories predict it, the universe could came to be. Without God being there.

Of course, now, these are only ideas. Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong. But it doesn't matter as long as this argument is concerned. I only want to show, that the Universe even according to science did not happen just like that->which is what Christians believe, science do. They think that science says, the universe just happen. That's the reason they use the argument in the first place. So they have wrong asumptions as for what science has to say about the universe.

But that's not the only problem with that statement. Other than that it is false because there's for now no way to test if the universe couldn't happen just like that. I mean... How can you prove it could not? Because you can't explain something, it doesn't mean it's impossible. In math you are sometimes presented with task to disprove some mathematical statement. The typical way to do this is find an example, when the statement doesn't work. But if you are unable to do it, it does not validate the statement. The statement doesn't care if you are dumbass or a competent person to find the solution to the problem. This does not affect the validity of the statement. The statement will remain false, even if you are unable to find the example of being it false. Just because you can't find the example, it does not make the statement right.

That's just what about most of the people do, when they say, you can't do something. Well, prove it then. Just because you don't know, how to do it, doesn't make it impossible. This is very important to remember. Don't you ever forget this, because it's one of the most important statements there are. The science itself is driven by this ethernal truth. If hundred years ago you would ask someone if it is possible to have a handheld device, that would allow you to talk to almost anywhere on the earth to almost anyone on the other side of the earth, would show you latest news from all of the countries in the world, would bring you weather forecasts etc. they would of course say, that this is not possible. But if science would take this into account, we wouldn't hold such devices in our hands right now.

The other wrong assumption is, that the universe could not come from nothing. Well there are lot of scenarios, modern physics works with. Some of them say, our universe is part of bigger universe, while other go out in front of people and with calm face they say: The universe could come to existence out of nothing. And in fact, it is surprisingly possible, at least from the math's point of view. If it really happend that way, or some other.. We don't know for now. But the important fact is, that there is always this possibility. At least for now. So the statement "The universe could not come into existence out of nothing" is at least for now wrong. It turns out, it could. Now, most of you would be skeptical about this. In fact, I am a little bit myself skeptical about it. But I am not just blabbering about random stuff and I'll attach to this entry a video, that explains how it is possible for the universe to spring into existence out of nothing. Let's just hope, those guys under Geneva in LHC will bring more light into the issue.

For now, the most important thing is, that one should now, that science does not say, the universe happened jsut like that. That it really came to be because of some rules, which the physics is trying to find. Other important conclusion is, that it is entirely possible, that the universe just came to be. Just like that. There's no real reason to believe otherwise, as long as our knowledge is concerned it could happen just like that. Next thing to remember is, that it's not true, the universe could not came to be out of nothing. In fact, it could and science takes into account this possibility too.

And the promised video about how the universe could come to be out of nothing:
