Can humans create something from nothing or nothingness from something?

[Shia Islam]

Not even gods or goddesses can do that
In many cultural Stories of Creation it is said that the Universe is eternal and all elements have been there for ever taking place in making forms which are build up and dissolved in an eternal process where the electromagnetic forse rules eveything.

The eternal Universe theory has been disproved by science.

It has many self-contradicting parts...

It raises more questions than providing answers..

The same is true of an eternal god.

You raise great questions

Is it an appreciation? Please
If there won't be nothingness around, there cannot be inflation or explosion of the Big Bang. It just cannot happen.
Creation of nothingness is a pre-requisite of the Big Bang. Right? Please

It shows up on the front page. If you can see it, there's a small house icon at the top left of your screen next to 'Forums', 'Chat Room' etc that will take you to the front page. If a thread is featured then it shows up there. It's an example of show-casing the kind of discussions that go on here to people who are just passing through.

I think there is no verse in quran that explicitly says God created everything from nothing.

Actually this is a mysterious issue and very complicated as well.

Please ponder the verse quoted by me above.
If one could create something from annihilation, he could destroy something to annihilate it again.
Right? Please

Only G-d could do and can done so.

I'd say that only creative minds can ever truly create anything. Creativity unrestrained by an infinite regression of cause and effect.

god doesn't create something from nothing. God is something formless that creates forms. when something is created into a form, it is transformed. when this form is broken down, it returns to initial formless state.

you might be implying kenosis

or

emptiness, no thingness

Only God can make something 'Ex deo' or in another sense 'Ex Nihilo'

Where is your evidence that God created the universe from nothing?

An Evident does not need any evidence, necessarily.
G-d has claimed it, as mentioned in Quran in the verse quoted by me and given reasons.There is no other reasonable claimant.
And science becomes gibberish in such matters. Right? Please

The Quran does not say God created the universe from nothing, it merely claims that God created the universe.....which is the same as my understanding. That's a far cry from the impossible claim, even for God, that He created universal existence from absolute nothing, the total absence of any mass and energy.

https://quran.com/2/117

Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

Compared to god we can create much more, we created ourselves through evolution, no god need, yes we all did it ourselves, and good on us.

 

[buddhist]

Imagination is creation from nothing; in our imaginations we can create worlds, universes.

Haha...when did you realize you could create yourself through evolution, before you actually evolved, or after you evolved?

Who cares, we did it, and that is all that matters, no god needed, lets face it, he would only be in the way, and stuff everything up.

Sorry, nothing in the context of creation from nothing means absolute nothing.....the total absence of any mass or energy....

Imagination could be something or nothing or just imagination or supertition. Right? Please
