Beats the tits outta me. What's your point?
Why should I feel obligated to forge an explaination for your hypothetical proposition in the first place?
I've got one for YOU: For the sake of the discussion, let's assume that instead of "nothing" there were fairies. All of space was comprised of infinitesimal fairies. Then, from infinitesimal fairies came the universe, the planets, and natural world as we live in it. Please, using contemporary evidence and logic, explain what you would infer from this philosophical proposition.
In the meantime, I'll sit back smugly and act as though I've proved some kind of point.

You're free to say you don't know, but I guess I find it peculiar that you pick now to say "I don't know". Technically, you could say you don't know for every question. Is there anything that anyone can know with 100% certainty? I presume that's what you mean by saying "I don't know". Perhaps I'm wrong but I don't think there are many atheists who would say they're 100% certain that gods do not exist, yet, they're atheists. Because they don't need to show that they're 100% certain. They just need to show that atheism is more plausible.
Likewise, I'm just asking for what you think the most plausible answer is to the question found in my original post. But if you still want to say "I don't know" then that's fine too.
