How can you use the word nothing if it does not exist at all? It has to have some form of existence in order to be discussed, non? When I am using the word nothing (and I assumed you were doing the same) I was referring to the void (space, emptiness, etc), which is SOMETHING. We are talking about the universe and how it came into existence. You are hitting a problem that some logicians have hit on (how can our universe of discourse include statements like there is no X such that X.....) but have failed to realize that the obvious conclusion is that the concept of nothingness is not literally nothing, savvy?
Besides, even if this were some kind of a philosophical problem, it would still apply to religious arguments as well as atheistic arguments. How did god create the universe out of nothing if nothing cannot become something?

Wow you must be so smart (insert clapping). You really must have a grasp on antimatter don't you? Please enlighten us so that we may bask in your infinite knowledge.
Another Mormon-like dodge... you are well trained. Without data, it's just another opinion.
You wouldn't understand the data idiot
