lets disect the question because it doesnt actually.make sense since it implys “nothing’ CAN create itself,.while.’something’ cannot. it fails to explain what exactly defines “something” and “nothing” . with this logic, asking why theres.” nothing instead of something” is just as invalid because it fails to explain why nothing is any.more possible than something. saying somethingcould create it.self.from.” nothing is impossible. there would.have to be something that was use to create that something. on the flipside saying nothing could be created from something is impossible. creating nothing from.something would actually just be the absence of something. if something was there to begin with, it would have to have someplace to go to in the void.of ‘nothing’ . therefore nothing from something is also impossible.
since something already exists i conclude that there was always something and never nothing.Yes with this theory, God is quite the possibility.

idunno,
interesting and true! but for us something is really nothing anyways! we don’t really count. we turn into nothing. ka put all gone!! good thing in my book! 🙂 once is enough!!
If God is all things he/she/it is also no thing
God is the Void and the Fullness
god is the light and the dark
God is the Good and the Evil
All words ascribed to God must be taken away.

THERE YOU GO AGAIN!! I LOVE IT! 🙂
It’s interesting but the majority of religious thinking starts with the unspoken “knowing†that life is something to endure, that to live is to suffer and that to some extend life is horrific. (Only were not allowed to know this)
The hope becomes not for this life but the next, where depending on how well we deal with our suffering will be heaven or hell, or worse have to come back for a redo.
The problem with such faith is that in hoping for the next life we project ourselves out of the present moment.
Hope, Meaning, Faith become a waiting and prevents us from living the life we have and actually creates the suffering we experience! (You only have to read the post on this site to see the truth of that)
True freedom is freedom from Hope, Meaning and Faith.
(Or use such tools more skillfully, and they are just tools)

“The hope becomes not for this life but the next”
I LOVE IT BUT THERE AIN’T NO NEXT!!! AS Michael Jackson said!! THIS IS IT! 🙂
Man became conscious with the knowledge of good and evil. Not what was good and evil, just some sense that one thing, under certain conditions, was experienced as better then another. But change the conditions and what was experienced as good is now experienced as bad.
Consciousness requires this tension between the opposites but with consciousness comes suffering, what is good is sometimes bad and what is bad is sometimes good.
With this awareness man noticed that life fed off of life. Life eats Life!
New life required the death of life, life required suffering… is this good, is this bad… horrific?
Even God must die!
Life must die to make way for life and eventually it will be our turn to die. However the life death life cycle also applies to our philological growth and literally happens in every moment experienced – is it no wonder so many long for death as a release from death!)
We associate the word Awesome with God and this I think is fitting as the word is defined as inspiring strong feelings of admiration/wonder and fear/horror, usually both at the same time. If God is Good he/she/it is also Horrifying. with this knowing we are free.
Whether there is a next life or not is not the point
If hope is for the next life the result is that we don’t live this life as much as we endure it.
Suffering becomes a badge of honor or guilt that we fail to suffer well or allow our suffering to make us “worthyâ€.
Such Faith creates, at the same time, the suffering it is meant to comfort.
In such a case religion creating the need for religion

i agree with that and when we die we Definitely “parts of us” will be recycled into something???????
