and the god chouldn't be made from matter because of that to and because he is the first cause.
But what about all those theoretical models done by scientists that have been published suggesting mechanisms by which our current universe appeared from a preexisting one, for example, by a process called quantum tunneling or so-called quantum fluctuations?
Should we burn those scientists and their formulas?
In the book The Comprehensible Cosmos, scientist presented a specific scenario for the purely natural origin of the universe, worked out mathematically at a level accessible to anyone with an undergraduate mathematics or physics background.
This was based on the no boundary model of James Hartle and Stephen Hawking.
In that model, the universe has no beginning or end in space or time. In the scenario presented there, our universe is described as having "tunneled" through the chaos at the Planck time from a prior universe that existed for all previous time.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
