I say that nothing can't create everything, you say the idea that a being can snap and create everything out of thin air is ridicuous, I say that you believe that the Universe appeared out of thin air.

Not out of thin air, but by following the laws of quantum mechanics. Nothing transforms into something all the time. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that a system can never have precisely zero energy and since energy and mass are equivalent, pairs of particles can form spontaneously as long as they annihilate one another very quickly.

The only problem is that this only goes a little bit farther down the endless chain of causality.

Where does the universe come from?

big bang

Where does the Big Band come from?

nothing because quantum mechanics

Where does quantum mechanics come from?

"insert reason I don't know"

Where does "insert reason I don't know" come from?

"insert reason I don't know"

Where does "insert reason I don't know" come from?

"insert reason I don't know"

This keeps repeating until we reach something that does not follow causality.

Some people think this phenomenon has a will and some people don't.
