What expanded? The thing is, atheistic views of the beginnings of the universe suffer from exactly the same criticism by way of a question levelled at theists - what created the first entity that existed?</p> <p>Atheists seem to think they&#8217;ve won the argument by posing the question &#8216;who created God?&#8217;, but it can equally be turned on it&#8217;s head - if we accept, as most right thinking people do that everything has a beginning, how did &#8216;nothing&#8217; become &#8216;something&#8217; in the very first instance? You haven&#8217;t explained that.</p> <div class="comment_credits"> <span class="author line"><strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://tobyinkster.co.uk/~anonymous/">Anonymous Coward</a> <span class="ip">[62.31.19.239]</span></span><br> <span class="date line"><strong>Date:</strong> Thursday, 13th September 2007, 4:38pm (UTC)</span><br> </div>
