Re: [asa] Quantum Physics: Something from Nothing?

So why could a creator conceive of nothingness and others could not?
In fact, just because you may be unable to conceive of this, does not
mean that others cannot do so.
Nothing is just that, the absence of anything, a void.
Do you have any positive evidence?

Quantum field theory does indicate that a particle and an antiparticle pair can be created out of the vacuum. However, the vacuum is not really "nothing" but a rather complicated state of the system, the ground state.
