So jack, are you telling me that even though our universe tells us that something cannot come out of "pure nothing", maybe somehow, for some reason, the universe actually was at one time created out of nothing?
That's
Mr Jack.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Arguing that because everything in the universe has a cause*, the universe itself must, is a logical fallacy. This doesn't mean the universe didn't have a cause, it means we can't know.
* - and, in any case, not everything in the universe has a cause, as was noted earlier.
