You could be right, which is why I don't adhere to any particular origin 'theory' until there's more evidence. Really, it would be more accurate to call theoretical physics 'hypothetical physics', given how little of it passes muster as a scientific theory.

No one knows for sure how the universe really started. One hypothesis is that there's no such thing as absolute nothingness, and that universe began from quantum vacuum, which is as close to absolute nothingness as it currently seems possible to get. There are numerous other possibilities that are mathematically sound and agree with what is already known, but we need more evidence to say which one is most likely to be correct with some certainty.

There's no such thing as nothing in capital letters which could have given rise to the initial expansion, but it is possible that nothing in small letters could have.

I don't know of any atheists who think it was NOTHING that created the universe, although most Christians maintain that God created the universe from NOTHING, which I find a little odd: if God is omnipresent, where was this NOTHING he created the universe from?

Most of us have never posted a youtube video about atheism. You don't know us. We don't care what you want and we don't care if you change your mind. Do us a favor and stay a believer.

So if you don't care about what I would want, a fellow user on this forum, and you don't care if I change my mind, why are you then commenting on my questions and on my thread? If you of course, don't care?

To entertain the audience, Smartass.

Why does anyone knowingly feed the trolls? For the lulz, of course.

Well between you and me, I can safely say that you sir, are a douchebag.

You think this is entertaining shit? It's just questions and answers. That's ALL it is. It's not like gladiators fighting in the arena, hell that shit's been banned for a LONG time.

And yet, you think that this simple questioning and answering IS ENTERTAINING?! I think YOU'RE the troll HERE!

I was about to welcome you, but now I want to wait until you are halfway in the door and then slam it.

It appears that our new "friend" intends his stay to be brief.

No thanks, I think I'll just sit in the reception room until you're like 100 meters AWAY from the doorway.

I'm trying to be friends with you all. I really am, but you're all making it REAL hard for me.

I give him 2 days tops.

Ok how much would you like to bet for 2 days? 1, 10, 20, 50, 100 dollars?

You name it.
