[quote]Many things were named laws or theories from observation but turned out to be false.[/quote]True, empirical evidence is not an absolute indicator of a truth. But that's actually an argument in favor of atheism; even if we observed a miracle that was best-explained by the Christian God, that wouldn't make him real for *certain*. [quote]Something can't be created from nothing.[/quote]Actually, I'm pretty sure it can. Causation isn't an intrinsic property of physical reality (or at least, it hasn't been shown to be). [quote]The Big Bang says how the universe was formed, not how the matter was created and started.[/quote]Matter doesn't imply creation. You indirectly invoked the "energy/matter cannot be created or destroyed" maxim in your last point, and while that's not an absolute principle (and doesn't really deal with the origin of matter), it's worth noting. Anyway, I was hoping you'd specifically break down the posts of the people I listed and directly respond to them.
