Most people probably think that's a reasonable conclusion, so far as exploring matter is concerned. I do.
There are a few things we could speculate from that, like - there is no such thing as a beginning, except for the physical illusion of time being linear.
We could reasonably speculate that the BB was an action with an equal reaction - one to create space time, while the other removes space time.
Which may account for black holes etc.
And it's interesting that blackholes aren't supposed to have a location, except the effects they have on the known material universe.

Again, either mans comments on the subject have much to do with the nature of their authorship and readership. It doesn;t really matter whether or not "nothing" or "something from nothing" is scientifically valid or even useful - or philosophically or physically agreeable - people wonder about it, and so they write about it.
Why do you think that there's some constraint in science "seeing is believing"? A significant portion of it deals exclusively with things beyond the human ability to see.
When I say "seeing" I mean using all that we can percieve - including imaginative theories. People only trust what they can accept, by experience or attitude.
In other words, the human experience is all that can be counted on.
But that experience isn't one of being at the pinnacle of knowledge, but in a sea of it.
