OK - glad we have an understanding of the problems of defining nothing- and how hard it would be to demonstrate anything on the back of it - but where are we now?

I've rather lost the thread.

I'm not even sure at this point that "true" nothing can be expected to exist - even in the spaces outside of any universe. If it can exist I am not even sure there is a reason as to why it should.
My point on this line is that it's incorrect at best or sometimes disingenuous to claim that science has shown that something can come from nothing.
