The reason is simple: You need a "nothing" to observe to see if in fact something can come from it or not. What is nothing? Is it possible to have nothing? The conceptual idea of nothing that we have probably doesn't exist. If nothing is simply a void, then are there air particles in it? What about dust?
You see as human beings we tend to explain things by referencing them to that which we know and understand. Even new ideas and notions. So our concept of "nothing" is based on that which is. And since you'd be fucking around if you define something as that which isn't, we actually have a paradox. "Nothing" is a paradox.
Lastly, I will concede that inductive reasoning would lead us to believe that something does not come from nothing. But what's your point?
Actually something comes from nothing all the time. Read some quantum physics.
How is nothing defined in quantum physics?
