How to make something out of nothing?
Science says nothing preceeded the spark of light that preceded the universe. They argue it cannot be traced, repeated or proven in modern, Scientific terms.
Mystics say God preceded the spark of light, that God motivated the spark to ignite into matter, that God is a giant consciousness that cannot be measured or even conceived because it is, for all intents and purposes, everything. They claim this someting defies words or any human explanation.
Still other individuals perceive the universe is energy in space you do not see is expanding constantly and communicating in more languages than are currently understood or decipherable.
Regardless of whether any of these perspectives resonate with you, you may have ideas about how the universe emerges 'out of nothing.' What is your view about something out of nothing? Are energy forms and formless states combining with purpose?

Perhaps the Universe empties its self when it rotates its self back to where it began, and then it rebuilds its self, and then it empties its self, like a person breathing in and out, or like a heart valve opening or closing.
Perhaps DNA is like a code that holds our very beginnings and helps to unfold the future into the present.
I agree with the mystics. God is immeasurable and cannot be contained within the finite mind of the scientists. A scientist may be able to measure a light as far as amps and wattage, but they cannot measure how it illuminates our soul. That is an individual experience. How can our eternal energy ever be measured?
I don't know if I can explain it fully in words, but I feel it, believe it and know it within me.
Definitely what resonates with me here the most is the mystical view. I think we cannot even begin to grasp fully what God is - but even when there was nothing, there was God.
How are you ?
Your book arrived in the mail yesterday. I look forward to reading it.
i THANK g
And that it is only us that have not yet been able to recognize him that see it as nothing - and when we begin to know him, then that Light behind and part of all things begins to make sense, becomes something out of nothing.
*Blessings to you and those you love*
I've always, when I die, what to rise up and see what's happening, understand what's gone before, see the world open up in front of me .. I don't like not knowing, not understanding is something different - eg a radio .. it works and I understand that, so I know .. and therefore don't need to know more .. but the universe, or why things happened is another story: I hope I get to know.
Thanks ... Hilary Melton-Butcher

What is your view Liara?
I do see/experience life as you have written in your response.
thank you.
As a mystic, I also believe that God preceded the spark of light and that He is everything.
You ask "What is your view about something out of nothing?" well, my view is that there isn't "nothing". "Nothing" is apparently nothing to us; but in reality it is something (know what I mean?). What is the purpose of the apparently void? That purpose is what makes the "nothing" something.
"Are energy forms and formless states combining with purpose?" - Yes, absolutely. There is a purpose for absolutely everything...thus I think energy forms and formless states "unite" for a given reason (whichever it may be; since only God knows it).
I have a question: by formless states, do you mean "spirits"?
I loved this post :D!
Cheers
I don't think there was "nothing" before the universe was created. Big Bang Theory says a spark blew up and all the contents of planets, galaxies, etc. expanded in all directions. Let's go backwards in time...if all the planets, galaxies, etc. where to move back to one point, say, the origin of the universe, and colide together, what do you think will happen? I bet the same thing as when a star dies out. A black hole. We all know black holes have such strong gravity, that not even light itself can escape. This is because how incrediblely dense black holes are. The more it sucks in, the more it has inside, and the more dense it becomes. What can we say about dense materials? They are highly pressurized inside and have higher internal temperatures than less dense materials. Therefore, this black hole that we are talking about (the one that contains all planets and galaxies), must be extremely dense, pressurized, and hot. It is also concentrated on almost one single point in space. When one pressurizes something, say a black hole, and heats it up, both at accelerating almost infinite rates, that something will eventually implode. Since it is considered a single point, that implosion will seem like an explosion because all of the contents will float outwards.
Now, remember we were moving backwards in time. Let's now go forward, we will consider the start of the universe at T=0s. Therefore, we are now at T minus a few planck times. The planets move inwards (like how black holes normally do) creating a point super dense, with extreme pressure and temerature. At T = 0s, that single point implodes/explodes, releasing outwards all planets, galaxies, etc. It expands infinitly until another dark hole, strong enough can pull it back in and create another universe. I think it is just a chain continuously happening over and over.
But that's just what I think. Let me know if you find any flaws please ;)
