Not because of electrons as he said but because of two other complimentary values. Those are the energy density and the rate of change of the energy density. If one is known as we know the energy density to be zero (in nothing), the rate of change of the energy density must be non-zero (not nothing).
BTW, the OP asked about the Kaalam Cosmological Argument. Truth be told, the KCA is faulty because of it's premise. No need to examine it any further than that. The KCA says that everything that begins to exist has a cause. Instead of showing how that premise is faulty, just tell me what causes Beta decay.
Here's your much awaited reply. You seem to have assumed that I'm a Christian/theist. I'm not. I'm close to being an atheist in fact. I thought that would be clear from all the posts I've made this week (especially with my "deconversion" post). The reason I never replied is because I didn't find what you said disagreeable. I'm inclined to agree with it in fact. And it didn't seem like it requested any response from me either. There are no questions directed to me nor any criticisms with what I said. Friendly fire!
