I see some good points from both sides. Bottum line though we don't have a time machine...at least yet..
they view point are conflicting but that doesnt in anyway mean WE are

As I have told you, in answering your U2U, I am Not against You!
there can be no winner just better understanding for both parties compeition doesnt lead to win win situations so it deffinatlkey isnt a competition
This is Not intended to be a competition!
non taken
"Nothing" is actually "Something", but do you understand this "Nothing" in its entirety????
I am referring to Quantum Mechanics!
No offence intended!
we are all exceptions thats what makes us individuals
You think you understand but do you really in fact understand?????
Or are you ( I don't mean just You. The Word "You" is used in referring to the "Human Species", including my body also) like the ape, where the ape can't perceive the understanding of Maths and Calculus, we have trouble understanding concepts of immaterial subjects as Logic in abstract areas ourselves unless you are somehow the exception?
ahh your mixing the quantum deffinition with the everday common meaning
The Component "Nothing" has, or can exist, otherwise you would Not have this "word" Nothing in your Dictionary!
yepp
All, has in fact come from "Nothing".
Quantum mechanics also sees this to be the case.
no one really does thats why quantum is all theoretical were exploring possabilities
But do you really understand the Component "Nothing"?
Even yourself believes this, or you and I would Not be here right now nor would we be discussing this.
in a quantum sense yes
In other words We (that is the All) have come from "Nothing" in the beginning, if in fact a Beginning exists at all with regard to The All and not to this Planet Earth.
Quantum mechanics recognise this.
But the whole question really revolves around the understanding of The Component of "Nothing", its make up and behaviour, because which ever way you look at it, All has come from "Nothing"!
nope else i couldnt be an athiest
If this is Not the case. then you must believe in a god of your own!
why would you be discussing quantum's redffenition of nothing with a proffessor that doesnt know quantum theory? no wonder he was confused
And You and I know this is Not the case!
But what is This "Nothing"?
The Subject of The Component "Nothing" is in fact very very complex and there is fare more to this Subject than what humankind is capable of fully understanding.
I mean if I ask one of my Professors to sit down and discus Nothing, when he has know knowledge in this subject, he will think I am crazy until he learns a little about the subject.
we can recognise when there is a lack of anything and give that lack a name but that is does not make it a thing, unless your using the quantum deffinition
We can recognise when Nothing, is there or something is their can't we?
your using miused language to prove somthing it doesnt realate to
Often one says I see Nothing there or I can see Nothing!
So you see unconsciously we are able to recognise Nothing as Something!
The opposite, of what you have today being "Something", is "Nothing" but this is very strange this "Something/Nothing".
your switching from quantum to real world at will here
Its a bit like claiming that 0 (Zero) doesn't exist bout you and I both understand 0 (Zero) is a component of Maths.
It is of the similar nature where "Nothing" is also one of the components of the All.
yes but often carries many similarities and its these we can examine
But look, can you stop bring god into all this, because Our understand of The "Word" God is totally different in each of our cases.
Your understanding of god is in human termes and is Nothing at all like my knowledge of the "Word" God.
for that you have to believe there ever was a god for it to work as an example
The "Word" God is a Component of the All and is Not human or any other Person, but is a Function in Geometric terms, from the lost Zionic Language, that was Unspoken but was instead a language that communicated on a Geometric Level.
The True Meaning of The "Word" God has been lost!
but language is evuidence only of language
Unless you understand the Workings of The Geometry of any Geometric Language, it is impossible for you to understand Zionic or the Back engineering, of the unspoken Zoinic Language.
in quantum yes becasue nothing has been made a somthing inorder to model it
But anyway if you want to understand the universe, then you must first understand the Infinite component that is called "Nothing".
But as I have said "Nothing" and "Something" are two components that exist as one.
but quantum redefines the absences of anything as a thing in and of its self making them no longer opposites, it becomes a descriptive name for a somthing
As far as I am aware, this is the only pair of 'Opposite' components that exist as one!
its observation of not awareness of that effect things at a quantum level from what we understand of it
This is why in Quantum mechanics, the component of "Nothing" is said to be Unstable and this is absolutely true.
But if "Something" and "Nothing" are Opposites then what is the "third component" that binds these Opposites together?
This bond is something totally different, than "Something" and "Nothing"!
This third component is in the nature of, 'the comparing these first two Components', "Something" and "Nothing".
This is where humankind, is having great difficulty, understanding, because this ability to compare two components, with regard to each other, comes back to the Question of Awareness.
It appears that Awareness, came about from the Instability of The Component of "Nothing" brought on by the existence of "Something" being the component of "Nothing".
But this is a huge subject on, or of its own!
...... getting bored of saying this, the burden of proof lies on the proposer, its not for us to disprove its for YOU to prove
Yes I know it sounds like Madness to humankind, but try and disprove this if you can?????
en.wikipedia.org...
Science and other uses
Outside a legal context, "burden of proof" means that someone suggesting a new theory or stating a claim must provide evidence to support it: it is not sufficient to say "you can't disprove this." Specifically, when anyone is making a bold claim, either positive or negative, it is not someone else's responsibility to disprove the claim, but is rather the responsibility of the person who is making the bold claim to prove it. In short, X is not proven simply because "not X" cannot be proven (see negative proof).
en.wikipedia.org...
Negative proof, the fallacy of appealing to lack of proof of the negative, is a logical fallacy of the following form:
"X is true because there is no proof that X is false."
It is asserted that a proposition is true, only because it has not been proven false. The negative proof fallacy often occurs in the debate of the existence of supernatural phenomena, in the following form:
"A supernatural force must exist, because there is no proof that it does not exist".
However, the fallacy can also occur when the predicate of a subject is denied:
but as i say your mixing 2 seperate nothings into 1
You may be able to write all sorts of things against what I have said, but if you look at a Video mentioning Quantum Mechanics on this thread, the guy mentions that "Nothing" was in the beginning and that this Nothing is Unstable!
but thats EXACTLY what quantum theory is doing, attemnpting to understand it in a physical sense as it underlies all our physical reality
So to understand all this you can't use Philosophy nor can you understand this in the Physical sense.
but still bound by logic and laws
But this is Not to say it is spiritual either!
Nor does Not involve anything of so called Spirituality!
You are dealing with a form of Logic, that is immaterial and Abstract.
if a god is given as a seperate creator figure then betrayl is correct, if you use goin the physics sense then it is not as it is nature and natural in its very actions
So you could say what produced your universe and others, is a liar or a deceiver in the way you put it, in your Understanding!
But this word deceiver is Not intended to be used in the context of Betrayal when I agree with you on this!
what happened to the no philosophy rule?
But so too, is the TV or Computer is a deceiver of sorts.
It converts from an electrical nature to a Picture or movie on screen.
So your TV and Computer are Converters or Decoders or translators.
The TV and Computer is also a deceiver, in that it produces pictures in front of you which is made from different workings than what is in the electronic components and software...
But you don't complain about your computer or TV now do you?
The only time it betrays you, is when it breaks down.... LOL..
im so gonna copy and paste this a lot i feel it comming

the dificulty is in not being able to use 1 deffinition for the appropriate thing
But your Difficulty is in understanding "Nothing".
I suggest you find in a dictionary!
The Total meaning of the Word "Nothing" has to be taken into account, as you have to look at All the Cross References.
Another Definition of the Word "Nothing" is a Void.
Check out the word "Void" ???
As it refers to the Word "Nothing".
The problem you have, is that you are far to hasty at times, and jump to conclusions. This often shows others you are trying to convince your self of your own beliefs and shows an unstable foundation but complex...

yes even your prone to it it seems
This is reflected in your writing. (No offence intended. It is just what I and others, See in you and in fact is quite normal human behaviour...)
the exact opposite is true
Now something can only exist as a "void" if that void is in something!
false basis leads to a flase conclusion
And if that Void exists in something, that Something puts boundaries on that Void!
Even if it is Material or just in your imagination abstract or not.
but you are not?
Look you are just Earth bound and at present unable to look beyond the Material that your body is made of but this is just a part of your own experiences.
All you have are Human Beliefs at the End of the Day
or i cease to be anything
When you take your last breath this is when you enter the other experience of yourself which is opposite to what you experience now.
All you have are Human Beliefs at the End of the Day
it is not universal or restrictive it is random, people of all faith and no faith experience similar, some meet god some meet friends some meet no one, some meet friends that are still alive, some travel up with people that are concious and alive
Human Beliefs at the End of the Day
Right now your thinking is the way it is because You are Not informed of the other half of your experience to come.
All you have are Human Beliefs at the End of the Day
The problem you have, is that you are far to hasty at times, and jump to conclusions. This often shows others you are trying to convince your self of your own beliefs and shows an unstable foundation but complex...
You only have a very small amount of knowledge at this stage to understand what you really are or what All is really about!
You cant understand the story of a book until you have read the whole book and you have only red 1 page of your own book!
All you have are Human Beliefs at the End of the Day
your arguments work against your own view point and belief
You haven't read or experienced the rest of your own book so you can't possibly know what is ahead of you nor what you are really about untill you have experienced the rest of your life.
and so does yours
Yes I know you are totally convinced of your own understanding of yourself and what is your universe but there is a little problem All your knowledge and Understanding comes from the human Primate!
prove there is anything beyond it then we can discuss it
Yes I know you are going to tell me this is about Physical facts, but it is the human interpretation of this environment.
As I have said, "tell me your thoughts when you enter the other half of your experience when you have No physical body.
as you shout at the world your belief and faith must be real and cnvince yourself and others it must be right becasue you believe it
You can't understand this nor know of it, because it is yet to happen to you and you can't escape this part of your experience no matter what you shout out to the world trying to convince yourself, this other part of you experience can't possibly exist in front of your self!
i have no fear of death, i dont really wnat to die but if it happens it happens
This on your part is only a human reaction to the fear of your own death experience to come, which you can't escape from!
the only myth is that it carries on
Your greatest shock will come when you find out that the death of your consciousness is a myth.
or a fabrication of the mid that fears death so needs to create somthing after, not acceptance just belief and imaginings and faith
You see when you die you find yourself, I mean the outer of your consciousness and this changes your whole perspective of both yourself and what all is really about.
And this I suppose you can call the evolution of your own understanding....
The True place of conflict is actually in yourself and your Ideas and beliefs are only the denial of yourself!
All you have are Human Beliefs at the End of the Day
as the time gets closer the reality of death gets closer the fear breeds faith and belief in the hope theres somthing more
As you get older in understanding you will come to know of these things, it is part of the all of things which you are powerless to change.
is it better to fight and fail at understanding or self delusion? it isnt realy a war nothing happening we dont die we go on
It is The All that wins in the End, as you have Lost that war, before you even though of starting it....
the intelegnece of a primate mind
But I trust in Intelligence of the Mind and Not the trivia of the Primate species You are of!
Look further and you will find what is before you.
and your ability to really see what is happening not just what you wnat to be, not just what you imagine it to be
Close your Mind, and you kill your very self.
as do i which is why i accept that when it ends it ends i have no need to imagine and create that which isnt to further it
But for me, I Love Life more than you can ever know!

gen 1 doesnt say that it was the canopy that was blocking the light, in fact the canopy was created later

... ""And Darkness was upon the Face of the deep..."
in reading the whole verse 1:2, which should be read in tandem with 1:1
the 'canopy' is a solid, logical explaination for the lack of a division of
the Day into part Light and part Dark.
the rotation of the earth was there, but the thick canopy of water vapor, kept any observer from noting the distinction/division of what would be
known as time...(& the later named human condition of a circadian rhythm)
