Out of Nothing, Nothing Comes

Jul 20, 2026 · 2m

Summary

R.C. Sproul argues that the existence of anything implies there was never a time when nothing existed, citing the principle ex nihilo nihil fit. He asserts that since nothing comes from nothing, something must have always existed with the power of being within itself. Consequently, he concludes that if the choice is between God or chance, God is the only logical solution because chance cannot create existence from nothing.
