that's were it becomes hard for any human mind to fathom at first.
nothing outside of energy is real. and there cant be a now without a used to be.
that's where this law becomes solid is understanding this:
what was before energy?
nothing. wait..cant be nothing..has to be something..or nothing is..and i am. so it is. so what is it.
ok a "god" made earth? hrm. who made Saturn? hrm. cant be. its to natural to the order that is. ok, so there was an energy..where did that come from..what was before that? a greater heaven..outside all known space..hmm. ok where did that come from..an even greater heaven..before that..before that...before that?
so eventually it doesn't matter what the before the first to now is, because you eventually realize that a start was, because we are. the universe is. so it was.
had to be. because nothing would be without it. so whatever the genesis energy was, was before ALL things that ever were and just WAS.
and had to be. because if not..nothing is.
one thing. the one thing that was first. and existed with a consciousness, and a body, and only is because it had faith it was. and all after it only exists on that faith.

That doesn't solve your problem. You claim that nothing can come from nothing and then you claim that one thing must always have been. Why couldn't more than one thing always have been?
If you're going to postulate a "law" and then special-plead an exception to the law, how do you prevent other exceptions?

That doesn't solve the coming-from-nothing problem. If God can exist contrary to the coming-from-nothing "law", then why couldn't a singularity? Or a tangerine?
it didnt "come from nothing"
it always "was"
if it wasnt. nothing else would be.

the universe is multiple energies.
complex and ordered.
it could not exist in its form without direction. (intelligence)
which is what leads to the "before that"

That's my point. How can you determine what "it" was? Why does "it" have to be God? Why couldn't "it" be something else?

So you claim. But you present no basis for this, other than circular arguments and your own beliefs.

the "it" is :
pure genesis energy of all things.
intelligent.
created from its singularity.
see, all roads lead to Rome, single genesis energy that just was.
split off into a different energy in an ordered fashion: intelligence
singular and created: act of faith.
what else should THAT be called?

You have shown no evidence for any of that. And you've shown no connection between any of that and "creation".
singular and created: act of faith.
This isn't the "Act of Faith" forum. You need to provide evidence that any of your fairy tale actually happened.

you claim to know me
I'm not sure where you think I made such a claim. I know you only through your posts at evcforum. And since your posts mainly seem confused and incoherent, that would mean that I surely don't know you at all well.
...i observed reality first, which led to God..not God to reality, but because of reality i found God.
Science is based on evidence - evidence that is repeatable in the sense that others can check it. Science is not based on personal reminiscences.

ringo..the evidence is staring everyone in the face.
because we definitely are. and are energy. nothing outside energy is real.
so how can anything exist at all.
it did. and its ordered. its beautiful.
its perfect. only man exists outside the natural order by destroying balances of nature. everything else is in a perfect harmony for the condition it exists in.
so..the debate for me comes to a close, and the debate by others with the law itself can either happen, or not. but it is reality as i have observed it. and has no flaws, accepts the willingness or ability for the human mind to be able to come to terms with it.
i wish you all well in your lives and debates within it

your evidence
here is the evidence nwr. but i wont debate it with you any further. you debate it. or not.
The laws of science that prove God:
Under this basis: you are. not maybe are. not could be are. but do, exist:
Energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed, but changed from form to form.
No ordered form can exist on top of chaos without direction. (remember direction.)
Something cant come from nothing. (it can "appear" to, but impossible to "litteraly" not come from nothing.(because we are)
This means: although we cant see the energy of God, nothing outside of energy is real. that is reality.
Existence had to be established, and all the elements are too ordered to have existed without direction.
So existence is a synonym for God, in that in the begging, there was intellegent energy that existed singularly, and created all that is based on faith that it was/is.
Debate the law. its sound.

There's no evidence of that staring anybody in the face. If there was evidence, you'd be able to present some.
so how can anything exist at all.
it did. and its ordered. its beautiful.
And I'm still asking: How do you know that the "it" has anything to do with "creation". A creation model can't just postulate an "it" and claim all things came from "it". You need to show the connection.

Re: your evidence
you are. not maybe are. not could be are. but do, exist:
That's a philosophical assertion. It is not a law of science.
Energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed, but changed from form to form.
Okay. But that's an empirical law, well supported by the evidence. But it still could turn out to be mistaken.
No ordered form can exist on top of chaos without direction. (remember direction.)
That's not a scientific law, and in fact is false.
Something cant come from nothing.
That's questionable, because "something" is quite vague.
This means: although we cant see the energy of God, nothing outside of energy is real. that is reality.
Where did the "God" come from. It does not appear in your earlier "laws". The way logic works, is that you start with agreed premises, and then make deductions from those premises. You seem to be smuggling in an additional assumption. That's faulty logic.
Existence had to be established, and all the elements are too ordered to have existed without direction.
Why? You have not given any evidence or reasoning that could support such a claim.
So existence is a synonym for God, in that in the begging, there was intellegent energy that existed singularly, and created all that is based on faith that it was/is.
I just love that "begging". It was probably a typo, but your argument amounts to begging the question. You are smuggling in unstated premises, and your conclusion is just those premises.
Debate the law. its sound.
The only thing that is sound around here is my laughter at the inanity of your "evidence".
