I’m not sure I follow the logic of Lawrence Krauss...

If something came from nothing, nothing is not nothing, it is something. By attributing creative powers to nothing, one has made something out of nothing.

He seems to be attributing creative powers to emergence, without any evidence nor cause-and-effect relationship.

If something came from nothing, nothing is not nothing, it is something...or, something coming from nothing is outside man's experience and understanding - hence, there is something beyond the nothingness from which something came, maybe we might call it God......

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around, does it make a noise?
If there is no life, is there time?
