Re: THE CREATOR GOD STRIKES OUT!
[quote]
To say that before anything existed, a God existed, is an oxymoron. Such a statement can neither be understood nor conceived by our minds. It can not possibly be true and here is why. If a God existed, then that God is something. And something is not nothing. So the universe could not have possibly come from nothing. It must have come from something. Thom's law explains that.
Thom's Law
"Nothing can not produce something. If there was ever a time when there was nothing, there would STILL be nothing."
So even a God (which is something) could not be produced by nothing. Therefore, if a God came into being, he must have come out of something. The only "something" which exists now and has always existed is that of energy and/or matter.
So, any God (or anything else) must be, or must have been, the product of something. Everything which is, must be a product of energy and/or matter.
Now that is strike one against the Christians who say that a God preexisted nothing.

Apart from this particular discourse being erroneous, because it treats the concept 'nothingness' as something. Islam in its wisdom defines preexistence better for us.
"Allahu Ahad, Allahu Samad" = This mean 'God is First-Eternal-Preexistent' ... it means before everything (else) there was God.
Islam therefore conlcudes that linguistic expression "before God ...." as an erroneous assumption. To say the phrase "Before God" is wrong because God is First.
Now there really is no strike here !!!
