Another way [[atheists]] will try to attack the argument is providing an alternate method of the [[Universe]] being created, like [[Quantum Fluctuations]]. They state that the universe can come out of a [[Quantum vacuum]], meaning there's no need for an alternate creator. But how does the Quantum vacuum change, to create the universe, without time? This also requires the amount of [[energy]] in the universe to be zero, due to the [[First Law of Thermodynamics]] not allowing new energy to be created. But how do they know this? They don't, it's an assumption that only poses more questions that must be answered by assumptions. Trying to use Quantum Mechanics to account for our universe is ruled out by [[Occam's razor]], and is an [[ad hoc]] explanation.

But the quantum vacuum is not nothing; it is "teeming with virtual particles that constantly wink in and out of existence."<ref>[http://physics.aps.org/story/v2/st28 Physics - Focus: The Force of Empty Space], December 3, 1998, Phys.
