Philosophy 201 Guidelines
Cogito ergo sum
Here in the Philosophy forum we will talk about all the "why" questions. We'll have conversations about the way in which philosophy and theology and religion interact with each other. Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

As far as modern cosmology I simply linked the words of Vilenkin, as a matter of fact your own Vilenkin link agreed with what my link stated. There is no evidence that matter and energy are past eternal, or can be. Tass, I don't want to upset your faith but you can watch Vilenkin here:

No matter, space, time and energy is a description of the Quantum world of the multiverse where other universes form, and not the philosophical absolute nothing. In the Quantum world there exists the potential of the energy, matter, space and time that form singularities and universes. Vilenkin supports the forming of the singularity and the universe from this 'nothing.'Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

And you are completely clueless - how can a Quantum world exist without time or energy or space? Where can it exist? Because Vilenkin is not speaking of a multiverse giving rise to our universe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSESZR3wC8s&t=3sLast edited by shunyadragon; 10-09-2017, 10:01 AM.

Listen to Vilenkin completely he does not say that. He does describe how a universe can arise spontaneously from the Quantum world from nothing, which is the total energy equals zero.
From a place where there is no TIME or SPACE. Where does this Quantum world exist without space? As a matter of fact he says that the only thing that does pre-exist this creation event are the laws of physics in the "Platonic sense."Last edited by seer; 10-09-2017, 10:08 AM.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

The point is that Vilenkin in the reference you provided describes how a universe can arise from the Quantum nothingness of the multiverse world. Your reference disputes your assertion.
As far as the science is concerned I do not argue religious agendas.
Again . . . science does not have any evidence of an absolute beginning of our universe nor the multiverse.

Originally posted by seer View PostShuny, I understand that you want to defend your religion, but go back to the link and watch it to the end. The only thing that does pre-exist this creation event are the laws of physics in the "Platonic sense." Not space, not time, not energy, not the vacuum quantum world. The interviewer asks this very question at the end (5:11). Vilenkin makes it clear that the vacuum comes out of this process, the only thing that is "prior" are the laws of physics, again the the Platonic sense. Sorry Shuny, I don't want to shake your faith.
Your argument concerning the end of the reference is a classic 'argument from ignorance' because Vilenkin admits that it is unknown and ultimately a mystery. Nonetheless Vilenkin describes specifically in the text how a universe can form from this Quantum nothing were the sum of energy equals zero. He does not say that no form of energy exists in this Quantum nothing.Last edited by shunyadragon; 10-09-2017, 10:49 AM.

Vilenkin is merely assuming that because our universe is zero point energy, aka nothing, then it must have emerged from nothing, which I think is pretty big assumption to be making. That our universe is zero point energy, doesn't mean that the quantum vacuum from out of which it may have emerged is also zero point energy.
Anyway, here is another point of view on the same subject by Sean Carrol.

Originally posted by JimL View PostFor one thing, its seems I was wrong, and you were correct in what Vilenkin is suggesting, i.e. that the universe emerged from nothing, nothing i.e., other than the laws of physics. But that is his opinion, though it makes no sense to me at all, and I doubt that it makes sense to most people in the field. It seems to me that the reason there is something rather that nothing is just a brute fact.

Shuny, the zero energy is only about the fact that this is possible, there is no prior quantum world or vacuum because both would require "space." The only thing required and the only prior condition are the laws of physics, again the the Platonic sense. But I understand your zeal in defending your faith.
