Did God Start the Universe from Nothing?

[@luvdomus]

Where did the "nothing" come from? Why assume the universe started as nothing, or started at all as opposed to always existing in some other forms? Why stick a god into the equation to make the universe do what it does? That just kicks the question of origin up to a higher level while refusing to ask any further because of magic or taboo Who created God? If he wasn't created, why assume the universe was? What makes God do what he does? If God acts of his own accord, why can't the universe do the same? Why can't the universe be eternal and simply do what it does without being made to do so by an outside agent? Especially one who is undetectable and obviously introduced just to avoid the question of ultimate origins. When we look into the past our view simply fades out beyond a horizon.

'our' big bang may just have happened in an existing universe. One of many happening all the time (time?)

God said to Abraham, Kill me a son. Abe said, Man, you must be putting me on. God said, No. Abe said, What? God said, You can do what you want, Abe, but, the next time you see me coming you better run....Abe said, Where you want this killing done? God said, That way, out on Highway 61. Thanks, Bob

How can god start something if god is just an old Jewish fairy tale? 😂 No fellas. There is no god. What was before BigBang? Some day we will know. 100 years ago we didn't know what was beyond the milky way.

Your god isn't real so he couldn't have created anything
