Now. Dr Craig we interact with some top scholarship on this podcast

occasionally we like to look and just see what the layperson is saying and

this is a terrific blog she's a great writer and she goes by Godless

mom. She's a mom, pretty typical mom. She is an atheist and she blogs on

various topics.

This particular blog I thought we would look at,

how can you believe that something came from nothing?

And she starts off, she says, the height of my science career was making paper machee volcanoes in grade two that erupted into a pungent

vinegary mess. And so she's saying science blows my mind and my understanding of it is pretty much limited to whoa cool. You know. So she says, so when theist asked me way too often, how can I believe that something came from nothing,

you can understand how absurd the question is to me.

I mean, I don't know the first thing about what may have existed

before the Big Bang. Now I want to interrupt at this point Kevin because I think this is

the first missed understanding that Godless mom events is here.

The question that these theorists are asking,

how can something come from nothing is not a scientific question.

It's a philosophical question.

It's a metaphysical question. And you don't need to know anything about the Big Bang.

Godless mom's ignorance of Big Bang cosmology is irrelevant

to the question of how can something come from nothing, which is a metaphysical question.

And so often I find lay people are even more naive when it comes to philosophical issues than they are when it comes to

scientific issues.

And I think that's the case here.
