    Yes, and now we're trying to figure out why that matter is there and how it came to be there, why it wasn't always there and why it won't always be there.

    Absolutely. Happens every day, in fact.

    E = mc^2 --> m = E/c^2

    Your mistake is assuming that nothing is void of anything. In other words, there is no such thing as "nothing" in absolute terms.

    How do you know? We can combine evidence we know. Everything explained by Christianity needs to be explained independently and separately by atheism and it just keeps getting weirder and weirder and more inconceivable the more you try and break it down.

    Have you ever had one before? Do you know anyone who owns one?

    So the things on the right side do not exist? How do you know that is an accurate representation of the other side if we cannot see or observe them?

    See I disagree with this. A child of man will always have a part of the father and mother in them until they die. A child of god will always have god in them until they die; which will never happen; therefor we will always be with god. Eventually we become one with god after our flesh dies.

    Please define "nothing" for me. And again, you are making assumptions, how do you know there is no such thing as nothing in absolute terms?

    the black lines on the left represent particle paths. the picture on the right, green and red are overlays of the tracks. the electron path is the particle we know, the positron path is the same particle but with a 1e charge instead of a -1e charge.

    e: the interesting part is that the particles just suddenly appear out of no where. you can see momentum is conserved because they spin out form each other in exactly opposite directions.

    say there was a being that could appear in any form, speak to you in your head, cause floods and lightning, etc

    say that being created the oceans, and every living thing on earth

    would that being, without doubt, be god?

    You mean morph with God or something, like some Brahman stuff? I believe that God's Spirit is within us and is in and through all that He created, but it is not part of what He created. We and this universe could cease to exist and God would continue to exist.

    So on the right side of the chart are the particles ceasing to exist according to this theory?

    That or random cosmic explosion did it. Based what I see with the intricacy of life and DNA, the logic of causation, the subject of morality, and many other facts about things we know, it is air tight that there is a Creator. And when we combine that with the historical evidence available for Christianity and the Bible as a whole we are able to prove that the God of the Bible is Creator to anyone with an open and willing mind. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

    Heelers are a ton of work. They are the ultimate energy dog. I had neighbors who had 2 heelers. They would train for triathlons and would take the dogs with them. The running, biking, even swimming those dogs would be right there. They can run for hours.

    They're an outside dog who needs a huge yard and something to keep them busy.
