It's only the first part of a series, in principle -but the point is this: in particular theists often raise the question:
If there is no God, how can something come from nothing, so atheism is wrong.

Besides the fact that the same problem would exist for God, which is really enough of an argument to deflect this
attack on atheism, I want to stress that the question itself is meaningless.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
