I wouldn't say I'm stressing about it, I'm just saying it's a rather useless concept because it's nonsensical.  So when someone says "how can something come from nothing?", I just find the question to be worthless.

I was being jocular.

The question is if it's even possible to take away everything. Maybe "everything" just is, and you can't get rid of it in any way.

Furthermore, if what's left is nothing at all, then that's the equivalent of saying absolute nothingness exists, and that itself is a logical contradiction.

Two states, something and nothing. Are you saying that "something" is the only possible state?
