To my knowledge you still need something for a quantum fluctuation to occur?
If you had absolutely nothing, you would still have absolutely nothing?
No need to get caught up in the pedantic. If quantum fluncturation came from nothing, then there is no god. If it came from something, we will find out what something is, and so on and so on. And those who cling to god either beats a sorry perpetual retreat, fleeing with the receding unknown, grasping for the final refuge that science can't find out everything in a finite amount of time; or reduce to each age's equivalent of flat earthers, denying based on stone age myth what has been verified by centuries of science.
I think that present science makes a stronger statement than that: if you add quantum fluctuations and everything else, the sum total energy of the universe is one big fat ZERO. The ordinary matter of which we are made of, a miserable 3%, is quite irrelevant and constitute pollution left over. We are that insignificant.
