Nothingness

[The Reality Salesman01]

It is absolutely absurd to claim that the universe came from nothing. Why?

Yes, 'Why?' is the question I would have asked.

Define nothing? 0 and infinity are equally impossible to correlate with reality. They are words used to illustrate concepts. Anyone claiming to have knowledge of true nothingness or infinity, is simply mistaken. It's much more accurate to say: I don't know.

Concepts aren't a part of reality?

Its a creative liberty to take words and assign meaning to them based on possible applicability within a subject. Atheist- Not a theist. That's all.

And yet, all words are is assigned meaning... what does the basis matter?

It doesn't...if you are not aware of the need for any requirement to have criteria that gives you the ability to distinguish that which exists from that which doesn't. You know...logical absolutes...and the way you apply them..logic? If you chuck those out the window, you'd ask the sorts of questions I see you asking and report the status of your unicorn-driven-rainbow-powered-bus and tell us of your travels around the many universes/heavens you probably also think are real.
