The two things being sin and nothing you mean. ok.
Shell is arguing that God created nothingness. The principle of creation, <--- if that's what you're considering, is of a 'something' following a 'nothing'.
In the theological viewpoint, God represents the originating positive force. Everything that leads to nothing, a negative force, has to be anti God-the positive force. Sin was mentioned too, and I agree - you could define sin differently. Basically : sin, being the polar opposite to good, is a negative force, and therefore anti God. How is sin ever pro God? That's not subjective. Sin is a negative no matter how you define it.
