Something or nothing

No I'm simply saying that the theological observance matches the "net nothing" idea.

To consider your specific question... are you saying that God has to fit inside the universe? (not my understanding of the xtian God) and is therefore impossible because nothingness has to contain no God?

How so? My understanding was that your god created the universe (something) out of nothing, not that the universe was nothing in and of itself. An alternative that god created nothing from nothing would be a shift for Christian philosophy. I am not saying that it couldn't be rationalised, because it probably could. Just that if true it would be the the god concept is morphed yet again to fit available evidence, and that every time the concept shifts it loses credibility and becomes more abstract.

I see. Here's my stance: Christian Philosophy has nothing to say on scientific considerations of the formation or not of the physical universe. Christianity never had any credibility to begin with on that concept/ subject.

The God concept doesn't change. It's application changes given a scenario. We are after all applying scientific theory to poetry here.
