    First light occurred when the universe was 380,000 years old. That was when it had cooled enough for electrons and protons to combine, allowing photons to pass freely, making the universe transparent for the first time.

    Thank you Dave.
    Well its after the inflation period so the universe must have been very large.

    Can we observe matter to pop up from vacuum in lab?
    To prove that the universe comes from nothingness?

    Yes. A good example is the Large Hadron Collider. In a typical collision in the detector, two protons go in, and a whole heap of different particles come out.

    "Nothingness" an a quantum vacuum are not quite the same thing.

    It is still a process with input and output.
    It is not something from nothing.

    When scientists try to deny God,
    they will say, "The universe can come into existence from nothingness, it does not need a CREATOR. The laws of physics exist by itself.".

    Bugger off with your god, this is a science thread not religion. go pester the believers in that sub-forum. And you don't have a clue as to what scientists say. Go read something other book than a bible.

    Two things:
    1] scientist =/= atheist. There are plenty of theist scientists.

    2] Atheists do not "deny" God; they simply say "What God? Show me this God and we will talk about it."

    It would certainly help you if you got your facts straight and understood who and what it is you think you are judging. At the moment, what you are judging is your own preconceptions.

    Saint:

    You didn't ask about "something from nothing" there. You asked whether things can be created from the vacuum, and I told you that they can.

    Let me give you a simpler example. Some atoms radioactively decay by beta radiation. In one version of that process a single proton in the atomic nucleus disappears and is replaced by one neutron, one electron and one anti-neutrino. That is, the "input" is one particle and the "output" is three particles. Where did the "extra" particles come from? Answer: the vacuum. There's nowhere else they could come from - a proton does not, for example, contain any electrons.

    Scientists aren't in the business of denying God. God isn't part of science.

    You're right though that nothing in science compels us to hypothesise the existence of a supernatural CREATOR.

    Not true, mass is conserved throughout the process.

    No it is not.
    If you weigh the ingredients and the products, you will find a difference.

    Conservation of mass and energy cannot be violated.

    That's not what you said.

    No. Mass is not conserved. Energy is conserved, but energy isn't a "something" that can be created or destroyed.

    You originally stated atom. It have 2 particles ( proton & electron ) the beta can be positive or negative in case of atom it would be a negative particle loss ? you should describe the composition of a proton which is made of quarks which are composed of other particles. So it is hard to accept that you are producing material in vacuum because proton is composed of more then particle
