Why do atheist believe something can come from nothing?

Possibly you've no experience in public speaking?
I have a fair amount of public speaking experience. If giving a speech, cue cards are necessary but if talking about a topic of which I have in-depth knowledge, I don’t. I can easily speak off the cuff about it although it helps to order my thoughts for a minute or two first.

Cue cards for that would prolly be to remind one
to cover all intended topics

I have no idea how old you are, but if you have been doing something for 20 years, I’m certain most people could talk at length about it off the cuff for 30 minutes. If they are a newly-minted college grad and giving a speech on what they learned, then cue cards are highly recommended.

Compared to theological assertions?
:rolleyes:
That's the entire point to theism, opinions and guesses about the unknown.

They are the same. Why would you assume different?

Those who are following the conversation would know that the topic was about atheists. I would say the same about theists for obvious reasons. Why would any sane, intelligent and sensible person assume different?

No they aren't the same. Nontheist's assertions might just be opinions and guesses. Theological assertions are always opinions and guesses.

You might want to reread my post before leaping to false conclusions and always assuming the worst about me.

Still incoherent. It is terrible egocentric to think our physical existence exists, because we somehow think about it.

But that isn't what I said. What I said is that the physical world as we know it (something) exists because we define it through our senses. Otherwise it is undefined (nothing).

If you think most or all of the posts on this forum from atheists are pure fact and neither opinion nor guesses, I have some very bad news for you, ma’m.

What a completely senseless, inappropriate
respomse. A pattern seems to be emerging.

As could I.

And preachers go on and on, saying nothing.

Cue cards make sense for a more disciplined speaker who
wants to make sure he covers all the intended points.

With lots of made up details as to gender, personality, abilities,
preferences, attitudes, plans, pithy quotes, etc. In fact,
those theos seem to know their gods better than they do themselves

Oh, they definitely do.
God is what they wish they were. That's a lot easier to describe than one actually is.
