[A strange form of the "something can't come from nothing" one-liner]
i really cant understand how something suddenly popped out of nowhere. Space is defined because there is space. Say there was space and nothing in space. No molecules or anything. But then you suddenly popped into it i thing many of you would agree that you would infact be floating around. How the freg could someone float in space if there was nothing? You can put spomething in space and it floats! how is that possible if there was once nothing?

"Space is defined because there is space." No, that's not the definition of space. On a very simplistic level, space isn't simple the absence of mater, it's the space where matter could exist. The Big Bang was not only the sudden expansion of creation/expansion of all matter, but also of space/time. Before the Big Bang there was no space to "float" in, and no someone to be floating.
I think it is worth to quote the whole post, even though it is quite long, because it is really a fundie gem. OK, samsonknight is only 16 years old, but I'm sure most 16 year-olders can think -and spell!- better than him:
I know not all sixteen-year-olds are this dense because my son is just about sixteen, and he has a much better grasp of astrophysics than samsonknight (so does his fourteen-year-old sister for that matter).
You know, quantum physics is an absolute bitch to understand, but the easiest way to put it is that it's pretty much impossible to have nothing. That's why we can never reach absolute zero. Beyond that is "we're still working on it".

LOL!
@ Lilith: "Is that any different to claiming God created the universe out of nothing? i.e. "'something suddenly popped out of nowhere'"
But, he already answered this question:
But infact creatism is even more complex since god has infinite power. that by one simple statement you could never get your head round!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
