Space is not nothing.
The concept of God creating the universe from nothing is incoherent. He has to first create nothing. And if God is something, she can't just come from nothing.
Very good point. As I said earlier, who created the higher being? That is, God. Did she sit there bored witless for a gazillion years and then think, pow, I'll create a universe? I'll put in millions and millions of galaxies and planets, and only inhabit one of them, that being what we know as earth.
I have always had an interest in space and astronomy. I have spent time in the city, looking at important business people going about their day, where their life revolves around high rise office buildings and long commutes to and from work. I wonder if they have ever given ANY thought as to what is past the blue sky that we see? I'm guessing some might, but most wouldn't.
I was raised as a Catholic. Definitely not one now! I remember as a kid, a boy in my brother's class died of Leukemia. That afternoon, I saw what I now know as sunbeams, dripping from the sky. I was so convinced that was God taking him to heaven. After that, every time I saw them, I thought someone was being taken to heaven.
If God is outside the universe, then it could take a trillion trillion years to get to heaven, possibly a trillion times more than that. Even if everyone did make it, it would be awfully crowded up there. I would rather walk the earth and spook people.
It makes absolutely no sense that there is a higher being that created something from nothing. You can't create nothing from something.
