I just wish to correct the religious muppets about there "something from nothing" ideas.
Science does not say that something exists from nothing anywhere. Research it, you will find it to be true, rather than spouting the religious dogma bullsh*t they tell each other about rather than researching the facts.
If you are refering to the big-bang, all this theory states at present is that the Universe as we know it today originated from a very small point, certainly not nothing. We can currently model reasonably well to (if i remember correctly) around 10^-20 seconds after the big bang. Before this point current scientific models do not work so well, but as we research more, we understand more and are better able to model it.
Recent research in quantum gravity suggests that the universe may well have always existed and goes through an infinite regress of collapse followed by expansion. The idea that something had to have an ultimate beginning is purely a human construct. It is quite possible that the universe has always existed in a closed (or even open) infinite cycle. Unfortunately a certain level of intelligence (which many religious people lack) is required to grasp such concepts.
Being human and living as we do, our idea of nothing is somewhat flawed anyway. Certainly, outer space, a vacuum, indeed anywhere in the universe is never 'nothing'. Anywhere in space, quanum particles are constantly buzzing in any out of existence to and from 'nowhere'.
To talk about 'nothingness' really makes no sense, as along as we are part of the universe we can never and will never know what such a concept entails.
Probably the closest thing to nothingness in this Universe is the skull content of religious people.
