They love the bald-face contradiction.

It's not even a tiny bit logical.
Quote: if "nothing" (in the philosophical sense that most theists stick to) is not meant to have any sort material from which to form anything. Nothing supposedly means no stuff, no properties, no material, etc.
If it doesn't have any properties, then it doesn't even have the property of not having something come from it.
