Ah-hah! That is what I've been saying all along. If there was a creator god*, it would have to work within the restraints of some underlying substrate. Since we now understand that everything and nothing are both underlying potentialities of space itself, it would seem that being a creator would require a little less 'blinking-into-existence'. Then again, why the middle man? What reason is there to think that space is inhibited by something like inertia from whizzing stuff freely into and out of existence? What is the god needed for and how would the nature of space account for their emergence?
