Something expanding into something else is not what that religion claims is happening, if you don't know that.
There is change, and a "singularity" is not "pure nothing", which was the phrase you used.
What you claim is something unknown expanding into an equally mysterious pre-existing volume.
I described something changing into something else. I don't believe in "pure nothing". And I don't equate the known world with the universe.
Your religion.........
I don't have one, unless you count not believing in nothingness.
........on the other hand, states that it is space itself that is expanding. Nothing pre-exists the process so it is expanding into nothing is your teaching you ignorantly defend.
Are you claiming that when I type "something", I mean "nothing?"
I don't believe in pure nothing existing. The word "nothing" is often used casually to mean "nothing that we know of or understand". No-one is in a position, for example, to declare the absence of dimensions other than those we perceive. To say that the known world comes from a literal or pure nothingness is wrong or unsupported. Only in the casual and literally incorrect sense described above did the known world come from "nothing".
Reality is something, and literal pure nothingness is irrelevant to our attempts to understand it as, logically, it cannot exist in reality.
