Science suggests that there was nothing before the Big Bang.
With both fields agreeing on a point of nothing, then why is it that we cannot return a something BACK into nothing?
For something to become a scientific fact, a formula must work both frontwards and backwards. If a Something cannot be reduced to absolute nothing, then the idea of nothingness before the Big Bang must be false.
In order to prove a god, the religious must also find a way to return something to its nothingness. If this cannot be done, then the material in this universe has always existed. Hence, no god.

Even if everything already did exist, that does not mean there is no god. God is energy and everything is formed from the infinite energy of him/her self.
God always was and always is. That makes God infinite.
absolute empty "space" is a constant.
A empty space "nothingness" can only form something that is not like it self. This is logical.
II. The universe has a beginning of its existence.

Who told you that? What part of it makes sense to you?

Empty space is a conflict in terms. There cannot be a space filled with nothing. Space would collapse.
LOL You want to read that again? Nothing can't form anything whether like itself or something else.
But the point is, if everything came from this nothingness, then we should be able to return something back into the nothingness. No material can be reduced to that point.

Emptiness is form? Can't you see the extreme ridiculousness of this statement? It claims that zero is one. If this mumbo jumbo were true, then all logic goes right out the window. We could make the claim that 15 is 37, that banana equals wind. Where do we draw the line and demand logic in all statements that we base our reality on?
In that clip, the man started with the statement 'Emptiness is form'. Then at the end of the clip he breaks everything down to pure energy, but goes no further (meaning he didn't break the energy down into nothing). This energy is in this realm, this universe. This energy is something, not nothing.

Empty space "nothingness" is God. The first dimension is empty and infinite. It must be.
The infinite dimension must be a constant. Can you imagine why?

You make it a conflicting term. A empty space is empty. It is not filled with nothing; its empty. There is no finite.
A empty space can not collapse; there is no gravity. A empty space is absolutely neutral.

Well it has. Its just that we cant use our physical laws to describe it. Because nothingness "empty space" dosent have the attributes of our finite universe. Nothingness "empty space" don't posses our physical laws. You should know that by now. Nothingness "empty space" is a totally different dimension. its not a finite: it is infinite.
But the point is, if everything came from this nothingness, then we should be able to return something back into the nothingness. No material can be reduced to that point.
By a expansion, matter can become what it used to be: Infinite. That means it wont expand any more. It will become stationary/static like it used to be.
If matter is formed by a compression caused by the infinite "nothingness. Matter will become infinite and be like the dimension of nothingness, when it has expanded back to its original form. That is the only way matter will disappear.
There is no way we can take matter and put it out of existence. Because nothingness "empty space" is a physical dimension that takes up all space possible. So there is nowhere to put the matter. Matter must expand/change/dissolve/evaporate until it becomes emptiness. That is possible if compressed matter was created by a compression, which it must have been.edit on 27.06.08 by spy66 because: (no reason given)

No thing is not one, it is one without a second - non dual.
One essence (which is not a thing) shaping and patterning and forming as everything.
