The Universe Is Created From Non-Existence 35

this cycle cannot go on for ever, as is claimed. Calculations for this model
show that each universe will transfer an amount of entropy to its successor.
In other words, the amount of useful energy available becomes less each
time and every "opening" universe will open more slowly and have a larger
diameter. This will cause a much smaller universe to form the next time
around and so on, eventually petering out into nothing. Even if "open and
close" universes can exist, they cannot endure for eternity. At some point it
becomes necessary for "something" to be created from "nothing." 37
Put briefly, the "oscillating" universe model is a hopeless fantasy whose
physical reality is impossible.
The "quantum model of universe" is another attempt to purge the Big
Bang of its creationist implications. Supporters of this model base it on the
observations of quantum (subatomic) physics. In quantum physics, it is to
be observed that subatomic particles appear and disappear spontaneously
in a vacuum. Misinterpreting this observation as "matter can originate at
quantum level, this is a property pertaining to matter," some physicists try
to explain the origination of matter from non-existence during the creation
of the universe as a "property pertaining to matter" and present it as a part
of laws of nature.
However this syllogism is definitely out of question and in any case
cannot explain how the universe came into being. William Lane Craig, the
author of The Big Bang: Theism and Atheism explains why:

A quantum mechanical vacuum spawning material particles is far from the
ordinary idea of a "vacuum" (meaning nothing). Rather, a quantum vacuum
is a sea of continually forming and dissolving particles, which borrow energy
from the vacuum for their brief existence. This is not "nothing," and hence,
material particles do not come into being out of nothing. 38
So in quantum physics, matter "does not exist when it was not before".
What happens is that ambient energy suddenly becomes matter and just as
suddenly disappears becoming energy again. In short, there is no condition
of "spontaneous existence from nothingness" as is claimed.
In physics, no less than in other branches of the sciences, there are
materialist scientists who do not hesitate to disguise the truth by overlook-
ing critical points and details in their attempt to support their own views
and achieve their ends. For them, it is much more important to defend mate-
rialism and atheism than to reveal scientific facts and realities.
In the face of the reality mentioned above, most scientists dismiss the
