After having lurked on ATS for a number of years I'm now finally (and gladly) a member of such a prestigious community.
My main interests are UFOs and the ET hypothesis, esoteric beliefs and historical anomalies.
I hope to be able to discuss such topics further...

Welcome to ATS!
See you around and have fun. The discussions sure can be interesting as are the topics.

Welcome! Have fun, there are a lot of really interesting topics to read and discuss on here. Never a dull moment, hehe....peace.

Ummmm.... about you statement, nothing can come from nothing, you should really ask the current adminstration where their getting the money from, because they seem to get it from nothing. poof money!

Welcome to ats! You've signed up on my birthday, hence a friend is made.

Dig a hole, the more nothing you add the bigger it gets.

The more you take, the more there is left over.

Almost a religious experience for you there.

Welcome to ATS friend.

I know you will find what your looking for in this vast jungle of knowledge. I look forward to your contributions and discussions on the boards.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions .

Happy Birthday, Republican08! A friend to prepare me for the rough ATS seas ahead...

Hi there.

The nearest thing to a real "nothing" must be a vacuum and, apparently, it is far from the abstract ideal of nothing...

I could say the same works in reverse, something can not be turned into nothing. Everything is caused and causing. Nothingness is something that cannot be caused, therefore it cannot exist.

Hi Daniem,

Thanks for your response. The thread title was only for ATS introduction purposes. However, the statement does have a certain philosophical impact.

In reverse, surely, something came from something?

the statement does have a certain philosophical impact

It does indeed. But how do you choose to perceive the statement? To me, "nothing can come from nothing" means something very different than "something cannot come from nothing."

I perceive "nothing can come from nothing" to be a statement of something that is possible...not a statement of something that is not.
