If there is no God, how can something come from nothing, so atheism is wrong.
As far as I can tell, many atheists are saying the universe came from a singularity, a something, which in turn didn't come 'from' anything since ideas like from, before, or after don't work at that stage.
Yeah, correct. But the thing with the singularity is also wrong... But they really usually say, ok then before that was a singularity, but why does that exists rather than not exist.
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.
