Question about the universe...

Question

If matter cannot be CREATED or destroyed, how did the matter get there in the first place? It had to be created somehow...so it seems to me that matter CAN be created. Please post your ideas.

Answer 1

It always existed n the form of energy and converted to mass

Answer 2

So your suggesting that if there is a gap in our current understanding the only possible explanation is that god did it.  I would give you a detailed answer to your question but I don't believe you will read it let alone understand it.

Remember, the problem with a god of the gaps is that as the gaps become smaller, the need for a god becomes smaller.  It's down to 10^-30 of a second, not much room left for an almighty creator, is there?

EDIT - You show all the signs of being home schooled so I can perhaps forgive your lack of scientific education.  We are not in a universe where anything is possible, this is not Star Trek or Harry Potter.  A very limited number of things are actually possible and magicing planets into existence is not one of them.

Please ask your parents to send you to real school next year before it is too late.

Answer 3

You are correct that Allah, the Lord of the universe created matter, i have tangible proof for those who have understanding, look into  the source below. What ever Allah wills he says Be, and it is. It maybe too early for science to give us answer. A true scientist does not eliminate God but eliminates false models of God.

Answer 4

apparently matter can only be created by the creator.

Answer 5

Before the big bang, the universe was in "singularity". I'm busy so I can't give you a complete answer, but here is a wikipedia article on it:

Answer 6

The 'Prime Observer' known as God.

God created all things including His conservation laws.

Why apologize for being Christian when your vindication and saviour draws nigh?

Answer 7

We do not live in a universe where anything is possible.  And even if we did, just because something is possible does not mean it's likely or even an intelligent thing to believe in.  Believing in god is no different than believing in unicorns, there is no more evidence for one than the other.

It doesn't matter what's possible, it only matters what is evidenced.

If you'll look up quantum fluctuations you'll see that there are real examples of something coming from nothing, and it's currently my favorite explanation for the origin of the universe.

The simple answer is that no one knows what started the universe, and there is nothing about that which implies god did it.  Once upon a time, no one knew where lightning came from, so they assumed god did it (specifically, that it was forged for Zeus to throw at people).  They were wrong.

By the way, if energy can't be created, then that applies to god too.  The law does not say 'energy cannot be created, except by god.'  It says 'energy cannot be created.'  Period.

Answer 8

I believe matter has always been around, since the beginning of time and was never created.  But the universe at one time was all elements, and they started to combine into compounds.
