I believe, paulpablo, he said that "nothing" is an incorrect translation, and that it better translates as something like "water."
However, water is hydrogen+oxygen, which require both space and time in which to exist, so making the universe OUT of it would be paradoxical. But it doesn't matter, and here's why: every statement that answers the philosophical question "Where's the beginning to it all? Why is there existence rather than no existence?" comes down to two possible answers: 1) I don't know, and I don't want to make stuff up; 2) conflating the terms of a paradox into one or more entities: "God is the one who can exist without time and space, and who can create without ever having been created! God is eternal and outside time, but regularly talks to people, instructs them, and otherwise acts within the bounds of time. God is the one whose greater vision makes the starvation of babies, which is clearly a great evil in the world, a Holy and divine goodness." In short: God is the one who makes all possible, even when it's clearly illogical.
