Science doesn’t prove that ‘nothing can be created from nothing’, just the opposite - virtual particle pop into existence with comforting regularity. Additionally, there are several cosmological theories that posit the universe coming from nothing. You might try reading about scientists have to say on the subject.
‘God created the universe’ isn’t an explanation, it’s merely as assertion. If you think God created the universe, that’s fine, but you should frame it as an explanation before demanding that of others.
Good luck (you’ll need it).

Hi Boru
Thanks for the welcome. I don’t need “luck. I’m just having a friendly chat. And I am not demanding anyone believe anything. As a Catholic I don’t assert that you have to believe or be “born again” “to be saved”. I’ve had Protestants demand that of me.
Cosmological theories are not evidence. Nor popping virtual particles. Who makes them?
There are only two possibilities. God created the world. Or it just happened. Both have issues. But God has meaning, and hope. I just happen to believe 100% in God. Nobody else has to.

There are only two possibilities if one is very uneducted and not very creative.
These kinds of anal-retentive mentalities "there are only my two" reveal the personality types that spout this shit.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell ![Popcorn Popcorn](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/popcorn.gif)
