Exactly. Except that's a logical fallacy. My point is that atheism and theism both boil down to a basic irrationality.

You don't think that logic fails if you say that something comes from nothing?

i think there's a problem with language and terminology. since in our language everything is a something, we can say nothingness is a something. but what myself and daoist philosyphy(and other systems too) is refering to is a nothingness that's basically inconcivable for us. a nothing that's before, before.

Right...so god had physics on his side when he created the world?
Or did he just creat physics as well? my word!! why does pi=3.141....blah blah, because god says so!!
Shouldnt 'newtons law' be renamed "gods law 234819"?
What on Earth are you talking about? That doesn't have much to do with what you quoted.
The discussion at the moment is about the irrationality of theism (belief in something with no origin) vs. the irrationality of atheism (belief in something coming from nothing).

But you believe that something can come from said absolute nothing? That's simply illogical - equally illogical as something (ie God) which has existed forever.

My point stands, choobo, if you cant see the link, then find it.
damn it, you got to think outside the box a little more, your tunnel vision is beginning to irritate me.

I think you're a bit tunnelvisioned, to be honest. What makes you think an all-powerful being can't create a universe and laws to govern it (Physics)?

actually the belief in something coming from nothing isn't necessarily atheist. zen buddhism, religous daoism and philosophical(non religous)daoism all share it as a belief.

why do think it's illogical? back it up.
logically since something has to arise from another something the only logical origin is nothingness.

logically since something has to arise from another something the only logical origin is nothingness.
Nothing = the opposite of something.
If you say: "Since something comes from something, the origin must be nothing", you're making a self-denying statement. The first part disagrees with the second. Hence it's illogical.

Norse, what is your point? I say there exists something with no origin, and you say everything came from nothing. Both make no logical sense whatsoever, so before you go about bashing my side of the fence, how about you prove that yours is right?

Well, Im not going to fucking spoon feed you, you idiot. Work out the relevance from my previous posts.
I know they dont teach you this in sunday school, but maybe you should learn to read fact before fiction, if you catch my drift?

so you have no opinion?
Not a complete one, I don't have enough info to form a complete conclusion.

chicken and the egg
the idea is that nothingness gives rise to everything. nothingness's only comparable conterpart would be everything, the infinate.

How does nothingness give rise to everything, and what does its "counterpart" have anything to do with this?
And the egg came first, assuming you believe in evolution
