>>> Todd Henson on Existence exists
TH> If there was ever a point in which nothing at all existed (no
TH> universe, no God, no forces or laws to bring any universe/continuum
TH> into existence), then would anything ever exist?
WE> The Improbable Universe
WE> The universe came into being by quantum uncertainty. The probability
WE> of an universe appearing out of nowhere is zero. Because of
WE> uncertainty, that probability is not exact. Yet with infinite
WE> patience, a micro-probable event will happen. So there is no absolute
WE> assurance that only nothing comes out of nothing. Thus, this
WE> extremely improbable phenomena, the universe.
TH> You didn't fully understand the depth of the question. The question
TH> addressed a hypothetical situation in which there was absolutely
TH> *nothing* in existence at all - no matter, energy, God or gods,
TH> universe, multiverse, forces, properties, universal laws, etc. Quantum
TH> uncertainty is a property of reality. The question assumed the complete
TH> absence of any kind of reality and such properties.
In that case the hypothetical 'point in which nothing at all existed' could
not be included for consideration, so your question disintegrates.
... In no time at all time began for its time had come.
