Christians: you ask Atheists how their universe can come from nothing, but how can your God come from nothing?

Billions of years ago...a poorly understood event occurred that appears to have taken the universe from a high energy state and density to a lower density and energy state by massively expanding. As the universe cooled and expanded, gravity brought matter together to form the first stars and galaxies. The fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements provided the energy necessary to hold back the force of gravity.

As stars exhausted their fuel, the fusion byproducts were released into interstellar space where they were gathered together into the next generation of stars. This repeated a few times with the largest stars producing the supernovae needed for the production of the heaviest natural elements on the periodic table. Some of these materials gathered into planets orbiting stars, rather than into stars themselves.

Over time, these planets mixed the materials up and molecules were able to form. At some point, these molecules began to self-replicate. The molecules which were stable survived the chaotic conditions and continued to gain complexity.

Eventually, and through a process not yet understood, life as we understood it arose from these molecules. Life began as single cells but due to the fact that the best methods lead to the survival of the offspring to pass on the genes for those traits, a feedback loop was established where complexity was fed back in and refined with each generation. Life diversified into many forms, eventually giving rise to primates and homonids.

One particular species of homonid inherited toolmaking and observation skills from their ancestors and after observing and toying with the world around them, they discovered agriculture. This led to refinements in toolmaking, writing to know who the land and the crops belonged to, government to enforce laws, metal working to make better tools and weapons for defense. Empires rose and fell, wars fought, there were triumphs and tragedy, until in 1808 Humphrey Davy isolated aluminum from alum salts.

In the 1880's the Hall-Héroult electrolytic process made extracting aluminum cost effective. As aluminum is remarkably non-toxic, cheap, and easily malleable, it was selected by the Coors company in 1959 as a superior material for making cans than either steel or tin, which were used up to that point. In 1964, the two-piece aluminum can started to be used for soda (pop) as it had been with beer.

Today, specialized factories exist just to produce these cans, about 131 billion of them every year. And that is where pop cans come from.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
