How can something be ever lasting?

[megaman 2006]

I think all of the elements have always been here, the big bang just happened because it all finally compacted enough. You know how theres a theory that eventually the universe will eventually stop expanding and gravity will pull it back in on itself. Well, after it compacts enough another big bang will happen. I think thats happened an infinite amount of times already. I don't believe that there was actually a beginning, matter just has always been here.

You're exactly right, there is no god. Just an empty, everlasting void of space.

How did the matter get there? It must of beeen created by something.

Humans weren't created by accident. Im sorry but thats just totally silly when people think "chemical reactions" created us.
Nothing makes total sense and this idea of what created us and such will be on our minds till the day we die. We will never know what created us and why we are here, not untill you die, if anything even happens then.

This is what religion trys to answer. I would say that out of all the religions out their, that one is probably correct.

You really should study abiogenesis.

Oh, cool, you've successfully evaluated the probabilities of all conceivable religions in a non-biased manner?

there is no god its like a story about ghosts, people claim to have seen them but no real proof same as god.

The Earth and everything was created during millions of years with something called "Chemical Reactions" everything reacted with each other and eventually made Earth etc.

So you're saying that EVERYTHING was made from a random chemical reaction? Those chemical reactions must've been pretty damn perfect huh? What making the earth within an inch of over heating/freezing. Making the human body flow exactly as it should (in most cases)...That just doesn't seem very reasonable, granted, the whole theory that God was just there, and decided to make everything in like 7 days doesn't sound too reasonable either. So who knows? Let's not jump to conclusions..And even at that, wouldn't something had to have made the chemicals etc in the first place?..

There really isn't an answer to ever-lasting stuff.. You can't prove it because if it was around before us, and will be around after us, it simply can't be proven. That's where he whole idea of faith comes in. Seems like a convenient story huh? Can't be proven either way lol

Simply; we do not know how we were created. It's that simple. We can account for about 10^-27 after the big bang, before that we have no clue.

That is a picture that the Hubble telescope of a small section of the constellation Ursa Major. Every little dot, smear, smudge, light you see on that picture is an entire galaxy. In each galaxy there are billions of stars, each star with the potential to have planets. That's a very SMALL section of space that looks completely black from earth. Why is earth optimal for us to live in? The three fundamental rules of biology : Adapt, Migrate or Die. We adapted. There are organisms on earth that live in volcanoes, and in the freezing cold, they are called bacteria and they were amongst the first organisms on earth. Why have they survived this long? They adapted. You can prove that this was around before, us. Look up Cosmic Microwave Background. We can prove up to 10^-27 seconds before the big bang.

If everything reacted with each other, how were the first things created. A chemical reaction doesn't occur between nothing.

The Big Bang. What created that? Nobody knows.

The problem here is that everyone seems to see "time" as something physical that at one point started, is now going, and will sooner or later stop. Time is not like that, time is an abstract idea that humans made up.

If you keep seeing time as a thing, you fail.


To me it's perfectly plausible that all matter in the universe has always been there, and will always be there. Everything doesn't HAVE to have a beginning and end, and everything doesn't HAVE to have been created by this god of yours.

You can say that your life has a beginning and end, but nothing was really created when you were born, that will go away when you die. Every electron and proton that has been, is, or will be in your body existed before you were born, and will still exist after you die and are decomposed to dirt.


I see that people like to point out how stupid it is to believe that humans are a result of random chemical reactions. Guess what, they're not random, it's called evolution.


And a question for Christians: If everything, except God, has an end, what happens after the afterlife?

 

[Square]

Well, we only see time as it goes forward. What would happen if time went backwards? We couldn't exist, as some theories state. But think, what if something existed in both kinds of time? He would be infinite.

Perhaps the the answer to the question is simple.

Energy cannot be destroyed Thus for , Something can last forever.
