    The problem with this reasoning is that it assumes ‘nothingness’ as a default state, despite the fact that nothingness seems to be a philosophical concept incapable of actually existing (even in a vacuum there’s zero point energy).

    So “how did we get something from nothing” necessitates the task of proving a plausible case for nothingness as an initial state.

    And the answer of ‘God’ as a mechanism just kicks the can up the road, as then you are faced with the question of what created God.

    If you claim eternal preexistence of God, then you’ve landed at the same rejection of nothingness as an initial state just with unnecessary extra steps.
