The Problem of Atheism's Something from Nothing Revisited.

Atheism to be a rational belief must account for the existence of the universe.
But to account for the existence of the universe without a creator infers the universe came to be from nothing.
Nothing is non being.
Therefore to come to be from nothing means non-being is a cause of an effect.
Therefore to come to be from nothing means non-being is a cause.
But non-being is a negation of an act.
And a cause is an act.
Therefore a negation of an act is then an act.
Negation is, is not.
Therefore is not an act is an act.
Therefore not A is A.
If atheism requires the universe came to be from nothing, atheism requires a contradiction.
Yet what is both true and false is false.
Atheism requires the existence of the universe to be accounted for through what is false.
Therefore atheism cannot account for the existence of the universe.
Therefore what cannot account for the existence of a thing is false.
Therefore atheism is false.

Discussion - For an atheist to insist the universe came to be from nothing infers a negation of an act is the cause of an effect. If we grant the atheist's claim, and apply the claim to science we can then posit that a negation of an act is itself the cause of any effect. Such a claim destroys science, for science only ever works on the premise of an act is a cause of an effect. If then the atheist can account for the existence of the universe, the atheist cannot account for the existence of science.
