We don't know enough about the something to speak knowledgably about it's absence. You say you know the bounds of nothing. I say you do not.


we can know the bounds of something if it is a concept we have defined and there are logical absurdities tied to that definition. as i said, nothing is defined as the absence of anything. as such, i can easily say non-properties can't be properties. non-things can't be things. therefore to speak of nothing as though it is a thing capable of action is logically absurd.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
