  Answer yes or no for one question on the book cofty, does the book explain how the universe came from nothing, with nothing meaning 'the absense of anything'?

  If you say yes I'll be very interested to see how the universe came from nothing. If this nothing has properties and attributes then you either didn't read the book or lying.

  OTWO: Science allows for wrong understandings. Just produce some actual proof and the atheist will look at it. If your God exists and you can prove it, then things will have to be reevaluated. Until then, there is no proof of your god.

  .

  Science has systems built into it that actually seek to prove current understandings incorrect. If evidence presents itself which modifies or nullifies prior theory, then appropriate adjustments are made.

  .

  In contrast, religion has systems in place that only support itself as being right, despite all evidence to the contrary.

  .

  I think I can safely say that if there is a god and he presented himself to all humanity with irrefutable evidence, every atheist would then have a valid reason to change their mind.

  So how does one evaluate a scientist's work to see if it stands up to scrutiny or not? First, the methodology must be published. There must be enough information for peers to evaluate the work and attempt to replicate the results. It has to be credible. After that much scrutiny, the charlatans are quickly put to rest. (Hint: don't get your science from Star magazine).

  How are Christian charlatans tested?

  Every assault you use to discredit science applies to religion.

  Does science prove that something can exist from nothing . If it can then that means if i lock an empty room for 100 billionyears when i open the door again it will be full of furniture right or wrong

  Wrong

  An empty room isn't "nothing".

  Something from nothing: strawman argument!
