Since I am neither an astrophysicist nor a religious zealot looking to prove everybody else wrong, I don't see a compelling reason to figure any of that drivel out. I sincerely do not care how the universe came to be. Interesting to read about on my lunch break, but the different theories do nothing to altar my beliefs.
Something, nothing, yada yada ..... I'm something, you're something, we live in and around something; that's all that really matters to me.
His statement regarding the relativity of something to nothing is just dualism, innit? Watts said a drove of similar stuff but he got a lot of it from Carl Jung. And Taoism. Obviously.

Isn't nothing always relative to something?
This sounds like something Alan Watts would say. Something and nothing are distinct but of the same essence.... or something like that.
Taking the eastern approach?
