Can You Imagine
There are people on the planet earth who do not believe there to be a creator. The group believes that all we see come from nothing, or what we witness is a mishap or some freak act of nature. But my question is, what created the matter that caused the incident? If anything was there to produce a freak incident to occur and bring about the order we see, then there is no such thing as none existence. The matter was there to create the action to happen. You know, maybe there is something to what is said. Just perhaps all things come from nothing. Let's use our imagination. What if there is a creator who declares himself to be self-existing? He has no beginning, nor does he have an end. He's the first and the last, none come before him, nor does anything come after him. He is not in eternity, but he's the essence of eternity. If we remove all natural things, both heaven and earth, the seen things and the unseen things, what is left? Our sum would be nothing, but what is nothing? Nothing is no-thing; things that have a beginning does not appear. Remember, things come from nothing. But if we remove all things, we yet left with the space that the items would occupy. So there is space, and as long as there is space, space is a form of existence. Since we are imagining, let's erase the space, now what do we have? More space? The more space we erase the space we have. Do you mean space is self-existing? Could it be, maybe what we are calling space, is the creator? It's our imagination. He's the first and the last, and nothing or no-thing comes before nor after him. When we erase the things that have a start, we are left with pure space and maybe that space is the creator of all known things both of heaven and earth, Thus, all things came from nothing or no-thing.
