I'd give you a duality between energy and a particle if you like - but I don't think you can get away with just energy.
The other point is that, more generally, space-time is itself something, and so it's impossible to have nothing in our universe.
Just a point of clarification for me, and I apologize if you explained it earlier and I missed it, but is your claim that god created the universe from nothing? It seems this is a common claim that I hear yet then an argument is made that nothing can not exist. This seems to be a contradiction. Or is god the something that exists, so therefore there was something?
