I just have to add one more thing. If you think something can come from nothing. Then why can't religion be right when God create from nothing?
Have you taken the time to watch the video I posted earlier about the concept of nothing? What we're starting to understand in the world of physics is that a state of absolute nothing just isn't possible, reality for some reason forbids absolute nothingness from existing. Only problem with that is... why?
Why would one religious concept be anymore correct than any other? Why just one god and not twelve thousand gods?

I am going to watch your video, because i am very interested in this topic, as you might have noticed by now.
Its just that i also have kids and a wife, so i can't just go at it.
To understand this i must go into the concept of dimensions. There can only be one dimension that is infinite, so there can only be one over all creating dimension that dominates all others.
All the other dimensions must exist within the infinite dimension, and must be created/formed by the infinite dimension. Because there is no other dimensions present to create/form them.
The infinite dimension must be a constant. It can not change physically on its own, because its as large as it can become, and as small as it can become at the same time.
This brings up the question about awareness. The infinite must have awareness to be able to make changes. Because there are no other force present to make the infinite create smaller dimensions. Like ours for instant.
The infinite can't expand, so the only option is to compress.
And for a dimension that is a constant to be able to do that there must be a will to do so.
In other words our universe is expanding back to what it used to be.
One more thing. I hope you understand why the infinite must have compressed.
Because it answers your question about nothingness. Our dimension is a compressed mass of energies. That means pressure. There is more compressed energy in our universe than the infinite. That is why our universe expands. It also explains the thermodynamics. Pressure/heat always move towards a aria with less pressure.
You can't prove a negative.. It is on you to prove there is a god.

Let's state the facts, due to religion, many scientists were treated like criminals or witches even. Some of them were brutally killed for their beliefs. Religion probably detered progress accusing some great discoveries as false or calling some inventions as the devil's work.
For Example, who is the father of modern science? Did you say Galileo? Well, how did he spend his Golden years of his life due to religion?

Are you blaming religion, or the people who practice religion?
There is a big difference you know.
Science is not only used for good purposes either. I hardly doubt that all the weapons of mass destruction are created by priests.
Am I blaming religion? Without religion, would there be religious believers?
Could the dot just randomly appear all by it self without your help?
What does by "your" help imply?
To understand that you have to imagine that you are the white sheet of paper. Because you can not exist beyond it. You either have to be the white sheet of paper, or on it. To be able to create the dot.

Why are you arbitrarily assuming an intelligent entity exists?
And if the messages within the religion clearly state certain unethical acts... is it wrong for the practitioners of that religion to follow the word of their deity?

Originally, religion and science were polar opposites. As the centuries pass and scientists learn more, it seems to me, that religion and science are becoming closer to each other and in time, although perhaps not in my life time, science will prove the basis of religion to be true.
jesus said we all have the abilties he had, metaphysics anyone?
When this happens, I don't know where it will leave those who are passionate about one religion, as I believe it will be proven there is one god only and he is the creator! Perhaps not in the way we understand that statement now! lol
So proving god is exists, will lead to more wars, as each religion will insist it is their own god that exists
