Judeo-Christian Theist and Scientific Approaches to Origin from Nothing-

 Each posits the eternal existence of something or someone, and each has the Universe appearing at some point from nothing. God issues light into the darkness- and I have no difficulty imagining God creating or hosting a void an issuing matter into it in some way, while science has a void with a singularity that expands into it.

Science has an infinite chain of Universe spawning more Universes-like an infinite fractal branching, and it has a singular Universe arising from a singularity that was perhaps a universe collapsed into a black hole that became a reversed white hole and inflaton. Alternatively a field may fill all of the void so it's only an apparent void, and it has energy that emerges as virtual particles, and those virtual particles may entangle and become mass that in enough quantity can become a black hole that in turn becomes unstable and explodes as a big bang.

There are of course more scientific cosmology theories; like the one about membranes that collide and make a big bang like two symbols clashing and making sound waves. There is a good one about this Universe being located on the event horizon of a five-dimension black hole. There is one I like about every possible Universe already existing and human minds switch t the appropriate Universe that fits each though they have, so a human without being aware of it switches to as man Universes in his or her life as they have individual thoughts.

I like that idea because it fits so well with free will, determinism and everyone controlling their own fate and not trusting Jesus Christ choosing their own way to go to hell, All paths may lead to hell without the Lord guiding them.

God is omnipotent and omniscient and foreknows every possible Universe-an infinite number-in his own thought. The intriguing question that Plotinus asked is why The One (aka God) would trouble to create anything since his power is absolute. Well, He did for some reason and sentient human life is the result or fact. Science and Christian faith have many points in common though each side is generally unaware for numerous reasons.

Imperfect Character is Universal

The question of why anything exists rather than nothing was a question that Plotinus considered in The Enneads. Why would The One order anyt...
