He's asking for scientific papers, not a scientist's opinion.

Still waiting for a peer reviewed paper and not someone's opinion.
Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing," .... "Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist.
“Nothing,” they insist, is not any of the things I discuss. Nothing [they say] is “nonbeing,” in some vague and ill- defined sense….Some philosophers and many theologians define and redefine “nothing” as not being any of the versions of nothing that scientists currently describe. But therein, in my opinion, lies the intellectual bankruptcy of much of theology and some of modern philosophy. For surely “nothing” is every bit as physical as “something,” especially if it is to be defined as the “absence of something.”

Only the religious think that "something came from nothing" is what science thinks. It's a strawman.
I hope you're not referring to Dr. Krauss, et al.

So I'll take that as a no then? Thought not.
You do know that people are entitled to an opinion, even scientists? Doesn't make them right or wrong. It means they have an opinion.
Maybe you should learn the difference between scienve and opinion. Oh wait, I just remembered what thread we're in. You think opinion IS science LOL.

Why are you asking me something about YouTube videos? I requested peer reviewed papers, NOT a scientists OPINION.

These videos are not officially endorsed nor are they sanctioned for educational purposes. At best, they qualify as entertainment, at worst, they are publicity stunts intended for promotional purposes.

I wonder if these scientist will agree with you or this your opinion?

If I may ask...what exactly is it you hope to achieve with this thread? Since clearly you aren't winning any recruits. Is there a secondary objective? Is this a matter of personal satisfaction, or are you just insanely bored?

No. Not board at all. Just amused at how proponents of evolution will throw anyone under the bust - even TOP NOTCH physicist so as not to proved wrong.
So Krauss and Hawkings are now under the bus.
Proves my point all along. The ONLY LOGICAL explanation is Creation. It can't be refuted.
BTW - not here to win recruits.
I'm here to prove my point.

You clearly don't understand the nature of a conspiracy forum if you think any thing you post here makes a damn bit of difference.

I guess scientists aren't allowed opinions now.
Still waiting for a peer reviewed paper to back up ANY of your points.

That maybe the case. But you've just proved me right as to my op:
It's nonsensical if you ask me! In fact, the way I see it, it was done by word equivocation and mental gymnastic. "Nothing" becomes something because it was defined "as the absence of something" (a quantum vacuum as it is called). Which leads us to (in Prof. Krauss' mind) the reason why the Universe came into being.
Incredible or I should say unbelievable don't you think? "Nothing" is really not nothing but something because Prof. Krauss defined it as "physical" but just "the absence of something."
Now, how could that be? Could it be that he's referring to an invisible entity but just don't want to admit it? You know, like God? If so what would that make him?
In any case, if you see the logic in Prof. Krauss' statement or that of Prof. Hawking, that it's scientific or that it make sense in its purest term, I'm all ears. But be forewarned, both professors are considered world class scientists. So if you can outdo them, then more power to you.
Unfortunately, however irrational, - (philosophical) - ideas like these are promoted as scientific facts in many books and in many academies. And atheists alike clung to them and repeat them as if they are the ultimate truth, the word of "god". After all, they come from the great minds of great (atheist) scientists. So why doubt their minds? Why question their great intellect? Would you?
What a dilemma. To accept or not to accept a faulty logic from authority.
But compounding the dilemma, atheist face many more problems, including the difficulty of explaining how nothing can produce a thinking intelligent mind. Why or how "nothing" can create a highly fine-tuned universe? How "nothing" can create law and gravity, how nothing can create intelligibility in nature, etc?
