Didn't G-d create a whole universe from nothing? How did he do it? He made light and now we understand how, nuclear fusion. Maybe we'll learn more about his methods and we'll create our own universes, just the way he did.Explain please.

Investigation into the incentive to prohibit speaking the name of God has no conclusive findings. There is consensus that a partial reason is the unwillingness of Jews to risk blaspheming God by pronouncing His name incorrectly. The concern originates from the 3rd commandment: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain” (Ex 20:7, KJV).The technical term for the four lettered Hebrew name of God is יהוה (i.e. YHWH or JHVH). Owing to its sacred character, from bc. 300 the Jews tended to avoid uttering it when reading the Scriptures, and substituted ‘Adonai’ (i.e. the Hebrew word for ‘LORD’), whence the rendering Κύριος [koo rios] of the *Septuagint, Dominus of the *Vulgate, and ‘the LORD’ in most English Bibles. When *vowel points were put into Hebrew MSS those of ‘Adonai’ were inserted into the letters of the Tetragrammaton, and since the 16th cent. the bastard [spurious/false] word ‘Jehovah,’ obtained by fusing the vowels of the one word with the consonants of the other, has become established. The original pronunciation is now commonly thought to have been ‘Yahweh’ or ‘Jahveh’ and both these forms (but nowadays esp. the former) are frequently found in scholarly works. The name is undoubtedly very ancient and was certainly in use by c. 850 bc, as it occurs on the *Moabite Stone.
I recall being in a social setting, not a particularly important party with any esteemed guests but there were a few different characters. The discussion of theology was raised by someone, not a subject I was interested in much at the time though I felt a "presence" occasionally in my life. Had since I was a kid. Anyways, this guy said bluntly that "I (he) am G-d". His arrogance was seeping through, his demeanour more aggressive than his calmer audience.Didn't G-d create a whole universe from nothing? How did he do it? He made light and now we understand how, nuclear fusion. Maybe we'll learn more about his methods and we'll create our own universes, just the way he did.
But what started the whole proverbial "Bang". You cant create something from nothing, so some intelligent design had to make it happen.Explain how anything can create itself. We are all created by another. By one IMO
Jesus Christ!Explain please.

Because nothing means 'no thing' it is not even an assertion (which seeminly you take it to be.)How do you know?

Your postion is self-contradicting. If I or whatever you see (or the Universe for that matter) is eternal and self-creating then you lose your entire argument that God can't be that too
We will all be judged some day. It must be if you have a soul right?polytheism - the metaphysical forces together as one formed the 1st atom - and have been united ever since ...
- all in the heavens are the same in likeness and image, equal unto themselves.
- then came along liars and misfits who began the desert religions led by liars and misfits who wrote their books of forgeries and fallacies and believed by mostly criminals and misfits to this day.
