Debate:Why is there something rather than nothing? (view source)
Revision as of 01:57, December 20, 2012

::::If you are serious about not trying to set up the problem of infinite regression, then you have to accept that at some point, something ''just is,'' without a "why." That something is necessarily God. If I'm mistaken, then let's have your Biblically backed explanation as to why God exists. [[User:DavidE|DavidE]] 11:50, 17 December 2012 (EST)

:::::If, at some point one must just accept that something "just is", then I assume that you take the view that the question cannot be answered. Is that right? --[[User:ReginaldF|ReginaldF]] 20:57, 19 December 2012 (EST)

You can explain the existence of matter, energy, and life from a purely physiological perspective. According to the probabilistic dictates of quantum field theory, even an apparently perfect vacuum seethes with particles and antiparticles popping into and out of existence. With advances in quantum field theory, and physics the day will eventually come when science can explain why there is something rather than nothing.
