All seem to emanate from nothing, har de har.

In your thinking, God came from nothing, and created from nothing. You have simply added an extra layer of nothing.

So why didn't you present your argument in a straightforward manner? Why the confusing story?

So would that mean that you, LadyShea, didn't find Sophie's story interesting or fascinating either?

I know of no scientific hypothesis that posits the universe emerging from nothing. And, there is no such animal as a scientific vacuum. Even the most extreme negative pressure vacuum still contains an innumerable number of sub-atomic particles. A glass box, regardless of how many tubes protruding from it, can never contain "nothing". How does one contain that which doesn't exist?

Okay. From what did your god emanate? Nothing?

Try not to 'my GOD' me. I believe that is called putting words in other people's mouths.

It is a hilarious story I logically constructed to demonstrate the outlandish beliefs currently in circulation in this forum and within the scientific and religious communities concerning the existence of GODs.

I had to read it several times to understand which character was saying what. Very confusing and posits no debatable argument.

Pethaps Sophie can simply state her point.

Something that your OP knows nothing about, I'm sure.

How about a simple declarative sentence?
