The Problem of Atheism's Perpetual Application of the Principle of Something from Nothing.

Being is the actualisation of all acts.
God is being and the universal cause of being.
God is then the prime actualiser of all acts to be of creatures.
Atheism denies the existence of God and thereby denies the existence of the prime being, which is the universal cause of being.
Or in other words, atheism denies the universal actualiser of all acts to be of creatures.
Creatures which have being, have the act to be.
Yet consequent to atheism's denial of God as the prime actualiser of a creature's being, the cause of a creature's being is either -

1) The creature itself causes the creature's own being - But the creature cannot cause the creature's own being. For the creature would already have the act to be, to then cause it's own being. For a creature to cause its own being is a series of circular causes which assumes being in the creature which is then caused by the creature. As a circular series of causes is not possible, a creature cannot cause it's own being.

2) The creature has its own being caused by nothing, as from non-being - yet nothing cannot be a cause of anything. For non-being is a negation of an act, and a negation of an act is not a cause. For a cause is an act that presupposes the act to be of the cause, which in turns acts to produce the act to be in the effect. A negation of being is never a cause, but only ever a negation of a cause.

If the atheist proposes to account for the existence of creatures as being from nothing, the ongoing existence of creatures is an ongoing act of something from nothing. For the act to be is never accounted for, as from the creature, but must be accounted for, as from another cause. The act to be of the creature is an ongoing act, which has an ongoing cause to produce the effect of the act to be within the creature. The atheist is then forced to account for the ongoing existence of creatures from one moment to the next as caused by nothing.

Consequent to the creatures caused by nothing, science as a measure of creatures must also acknowledge the principle of something from nothing. For science is based upon ontology (the science of being) which according to atheism is accounted for as from nothing. Science theory must then acknowledge everything that exists is as from nothing. Therefore causes are nothing, and therefore all scientific theory should include the notion that at any time and at any place, something may be caused by nothing. Of course, once the principle of something from nothing as required by atheism, is embraced by science, all scientific theory is reduced to a mindless, irrational superstition.

Conclusion - Atheism requires the principle of something from nothing to account for the act to be of creatures. If atheists embrace the principle of something from nothing, they should also embrace the same principle in all the sciences. But to embrace the principle of something from nothing in the sciences infers the sciences are reduced to an irrational superstition. Atheism then has a tendency towards reducing all scientiffic knowledge down to a mindless superstition.
