Can Something Be Made From Nothing? The Nature of Things by Lucretius

Is it possible to make something without doing anything? You may be thinking, you can not take something and create it in something. Since God exists in the first human being, there is a religious view to explain why humanity exists. Then there is a scientific view that explains the existence of the law used to help explain how to create something from nothing, such as the law of universal gravity.

Lucretius, the essence of the universe, (Penguin Books Ltd., Harmondsworth, Middlesex, UK, 1952). Lucretius believes that everyone should keep five senses and that all knowledge comes from observations made only by these senses. Interestingly, Volume 5 (cosmology and sociology) is very similar to modern "evolutionary" world view. He said that the world has beginnings and ends, that it was not created by God, but far apart and indifferent. In addition, his perspective on creation of the world ("convergence of atoms") is actually similar to the "big bang" theory. He is also tracking the development of mankind from primitive society to the present. This is written around 70 BC

Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius wrote De Rerum Natura (the essence of things) in 50 BC to explain the philosophy of Epicurean to the Roman crowd. In his work, Lucretius describes the principles of Atomism, the essence of thought and soul, the interpretation of emotions and thoughts, the development of the world and its phenomena, and the phenomena of various celestial bodies and the earth. The elemental system used in medieval alchemy was developed mainly by the Persian-Arab alchemist Jābiribn Hayyān and was rooted in the classical elements of the Greek tradition. His system consists of four Aristotle elements, in addition to two philosophical elements, air, earth, fire and water.
