Atheist Evangelism

[snowtracks]

Here's an idea: There cannot have been 'nothing' from all eternity. Otherwise, nothing would now be in existence. From nothing comes nothing. Then you continue by saying, "Trust me, I know it wasn't God; it has to be unequivocally, energy and matter are eternal."

Nothingness seems to be a state of affairs that is necessarily brief. How long can it last, without time? And then there are virtual particles popping into existence all of the time, literally out of nothing.

Has your idea of God been around for eternity, or just since the beginning of time?

Virtual particles are an 'effect'.  Ref: Universal causation
