Lawrence Krauss and
the Atheist Definition of Nothing

by Robin Schumacher
edited by Matt Slick

Dr. Lawrence Krauss is a very
well educated and intelligent man.
There is no doubt his prowess in the area of science exceeds
my own by an extremely wide margin,
and I'll be the first to admit that physics is certainly not
my area of expertise.

But I have a bone to pick with Dr. Krauss about his latest book,
A Universe from Nothing,
which has the subtitle Why there is something rather than nothing?
Those having taken an intro to philosophy class will recognize that Krauss'
subtitle is a rendition of the most basic philosophical question of 
existence,
which has been attributed to truth seekers such as Gottfried Leibniz who 
asked,
"Why do we have something rather than nothing at all?"

You would think that by the title of Krauss' book he
answers the question that Leibniz posed,
but he doesn't. Instead,
he redefines what 'nothing' is.
'Nothing' to Dr. Krauss would be empty space or the quantum vacuum.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson,
who is an astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History,
says in his brief review of the book:
"Nothing is not nothing.
Nothing is something.
That's how a cosmos can be spawned from the void
-- 
a profound idea conveyed in A Universe From
Nothing that unsettles some yet enlightens others.
Meanwhile,
it's just another day on the job
for physicist Lawrence Krauss."

Dictionary.com
defines 'nothing' as:
no thing;
not anything;
naught:
to say nothing.
no part,
share,
or trace
(usually followed by of ):
The house showed nothing of
its former magnificence.
something that is nonexistent.
nonexistence;
nothingness:
The sound faded to nothing.

But,
I think the best definition of 'nothing' is Aristotle's:
"Nothing is what rocks dream about."

Why does Krauss attempt to redefine 'nothing'?
Because Krauss is an atheist,
and a fairly acerbic one at that.
He not only doesn't believe in God,
he doesn't like God.
Here is the problem Krauss faces:
If nothing is really nothing,
and we have something (the universe) from a real nothing,
then it points to the universe having a beginning.
And as Stephen Hawking has observed,
"Many people do not like the idea that time has a beginning,
probably because it smacks of divine intervention."

The problem is that empty space and
/
or the quantum vacuum aren't nothing;
 they're something.
So Krauss' book does absolutely 'nothing' to answer Leibniz's question,
and leaves his readers no better off than they were before where the issue 
of
the origin of the universe is concerned.

All the scientific evidence points to
the universe exploding out of true nothingness,
 but atheists like Krauss hate this truth.
So they do their best to spin and redefine the facts to try and placate 
their worldview.
As Dr. Robert Jastrow says,
"Theologians generally are delighted with the proof that the universe had a 
beginning,
but astronomers are curiously upset.
It turns out that the scientist behaves the way the rest of us do when
our beliefs are in conflict with the evidence."

Yes,
Dr. Lawrence Krauss is a very well educated
and intelligent man.
But he doesn't know
anything about nothing.
