your fellow Ace Otana does. Krauss does, Hawkins does....

Then you have not watched or read any replies in this thread.

Is an empty box nothing? Is a vacuum nothing? What do you consider nothing?

In both those examples, they are referring to a nothing which consists of "something".

True nothing is most likely to be impossible.

what does it mean, by the physics/quantum sense ?

either there was always something, or there was not. you cannot have it both ways.

Is it actually possible to quote a person stating there is"probably always something", and then accuse the person quoted of sitting on the fence about the issue? Are you fundamentally dishonest in your replies? How peculiar.

I bet Venn diagrams confused the hell out of you at school.

I take it the concept of not believing in God, but believing in something equally irrational equals having to justify non-belief in a God... how exactly?
