Nothing exists before you were born, only the void is present.
The void is nothing, and nothing exists after you die, only the void.
Nothing?
I think theres plenty of proof that says otherwise...
Perhaps... nothing exists to you before you were born... but there's also plenty of "evidence" that disagrees with that notion as well...
This is actually a very self centered idea... requiring the preconception that everything in the universe, or at the very least... your reality, was "designed" for YOU if NOTHING existed before or after your own life
but of course its just all random... no purpose

I don't see how any of that implies creation. It does seem that many things in nature follow similar patterns, which makes sense, I just don't see the part where it means it must have been created. All life shares common DNA as well, since they share common ancestors. It's interesting food for thought, but we don't know what exactly these patterns imply. It could just be the way it is.
whell i believes it implies creation because of the shape an embryo takes, thats the whole concept of creating from the void. its an esoteric saying that the flower of life is said to be responsible for the manifestation of physical reality.
And before we are born, we are one with the void.

I get that, but the shape of the embryo could just be the shape of the embryo. I don't see how that implies creation. It could easily just be coincidence, or the way it has to be for life to form.

There is no evidence what so ever, no matter how many times you tell yourself there is.

I might sound bit off, but wouldn't you say that everything exited before you were born and even after you're gone, it still exist... atoms that made you... they will make something else...
I tried to understand this 'sacred' geometry and being of mathematical mind, always loved working with shapes, numbers and equations, but could never find anything 'sacred' in it, except historical abuse of some with shapes in order to represent an idea, that mostly turned out to be something bad, like cross, swastika... etc...
Now, to use patterns that only means something to us, it's something we 'build' to represent world or to calculate things that surround us... to prove 'creator'... really? With play of the words such as 'void'... etc...
Sorry, not buying any of that...
I am (just like rest of you) made of star dust... of long gone star... and after we're gone... something else amazing might be created of atoms that made me... witch is cool with me...
