Cosmological argument: Difference between revisions

In the sub-atomic realm, virtual particles and other types of [[particles]] seem to come into being for a moment then disappear into the quantum vacuum. This gives the appearance that these particles are spontaneously popping into existence out of nothing, but this is misleading due to the popular interpretation given to the public.<ref>[http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/2011/02/why-are-some-physicists-so-bad-at.html Why are (some) physicists so bad at philosophy?] Edward Feser blog</ref> The quantum vacuum is an energy that underlies all of reality, and is a rich energy thus is something. The quantum vacuum is not nothing as those who follow a non-causal determination model of quantum physics like to say with no interplay among the other popular models and thus substantial interpretations. When the quantum vacuum fluctuates it spins off particles and then they disappear back into the vacuum. This is not a viable objection simply because the quantum vacuum is something, and that there are many models of quantum physics that give particles causal determination.<ref>[http://www.rfmedia.org/RF_audio_video/Defender_podcast/20040502CosmologicalArgumentPart1.mp3 Cosmological Argument #1] Teaching class by William Lane Craig</ref>
