I think calling it "nothing" is misleading, because there is still a thing, but it just doesn't have any force or energy to do work.
If there was nothing - absolutely nothing at all - then there would have always been nothing.
According to one theory, there may have been a net energy of zero in the beginning and then some kind of fluctuation disturbed the energy and caused it to do work. However, I'm saying this from a scientific point of view because I cannot prove whether or not this quantum fluctuation was the act of a divine or an intelligent being.
