a. Nothingness or
b. Alternate of God
I'm sure the debate has long since evolved from the first post, but I'd like to weigh in anyways.
I think the reality in dealing with the origins of the universe is "who the heck knows." There is soooooo much that we don't have any idea about that trying to create these a) or b) things is an exercise in futility. We don't comprehend God, or nothingness, or infinity. And we're sketchy at best on time and space. And that still leaves out all the stuff we don't even know that we don't know.
In my religious days, I liked trying to create similar arguments. But I've since come to accept that omnipotence probably isn't in the cards for humans, and we probably have to settle for not knowing exactly what happened a bazillion years ago.
