‘Nothing’ cannot be even a possibly actual alternative to existence, because if were actual; if that possibility were to become a reality, it wouldn’t be nothing, it would be a real and actual some kind of thing. I’m running out of ways to explain this.
So, you agree that existence exists necessarily then? So...any god would be superfluous, yes?

Nothing, as a concept, isn’t nothing; it’s a concept, which a thing that exists. Literally the moment you attempt to use descriptive language and visualization to generate an idea of “nothing”, you are no longer talking about nothing. You are describing something. Logically speaking, ‘nothing’ is not possible.
I have already conceded that there is a possible world where there is nothing except abstract objections--which includes the concept of existence.
