Also, how may witnesses did J.J. Strang have for his fraud?
Oh don't get me wrong I know the 11 witnesses is a bunch of crap. I'm just showing mormonx that his argument is not a very good one. By his standards of witnesses being evidence then he should believe in the Book of Mormon as well.

So yes, the universe could definitely come into being without any intelligent intervention. Universes may pop into existence all the time through quantum fluctuations.
This sort of stuff is what gets written on the comedy club walls in heaven.

Things that are difficult to understand should be presumed to be false, right?

The idea of a zero-energy universe, together with inflation, suggests that all one needs is just a tiny bit of energy to get the whole thing started (that is, a tiny volume of energy in which inflation can begin). The universe then experiences inflationary expansion, but without creating net energy.
What produced the energy before inflation? This is perhaps the ultimate question. As crazy as it might seem, the energy may have come out of nothing! The meaning of "nothing" is somewhat ambiguous here. It might be the vacuum in some pre-existing space and time, or it could be nothing at all – that is, all concepts of space and time were created with the universe itself.
Do you believe that God the Father is fully (100%) God? Do you believe that Jesus is fully (100%) God? Do you believe that the Holy Spirit is fully (100%) God? Do you believe that there is only one (100%) God? Do you see the problem yet?
I'm agreeing with you! Things that are difficult to understand must be false, right?

I understand each of the statements above. Just like I know what it means to be a square and I know what it means to be a circle. The problem with the Trinity is not that it is difficult to understand.
