In the begining?

[Whateverist]

It is beyond my ken. We are conditioned to make a number of assumptions which may or may not apply. An assumption I make is that no change in state is ever made without the necessary preconditions in place. I cannot make sense of a spaceless, timeless, matterless, energyless void which gives rise to all we see. Saying a God creates something from nothing begs the question how there could be nothing if there was a god? If this god had as a potential state the cosmos as we know it, then that 'nothing' was pretty darned potent and hardly what anyone usually means by nothing. Without god the situation is exactly the same. When blowhards like Krauss desribe the emergce of space, time, matter and energy arising from a singularity as getting something from nothing, they are being unnecessarily obtuse. Any 'nothing' which had everything as a potential state is not a true nothing. There are always preconditions.
