Hey- I thought you were going to give me the last word.

If you know a little Greek, you know a lexicon lists the various meanings and tries to give the context in which the meaning might be found. It's much like English in that regard: context determines meaning. What does "ball" mean without a context? Like I said before, the Author of faith gets to write the definition. It does not hinge on your interpretation of Heb 11.

The vacuum is nothingness, the void. Are you asking where nothing comes from?

A vacuum is something. Space is something. Nothing is nothing. Nothing is not the same as something. Therefore a vacuum is not nothing. Where did the vacuum come from? Where did the space in which the vacuum could exist come from? Before the BB there was no space. How does an explosion create space? How does an explosion happen without space? What are the laws of physics that allow for such a thing?

Be nice professor, his mind just can't seem to fathom science at all.

It makes no sense to him, so he falls back on, "godidit" like a good little sheeple.

He just cannot admit that maybe he does not have all the info to make an informed decision.

Much easier to follow, then to expand your knowledge and make your own decisions. Much easier to do something because the book tells you to, then to actually have to make a decision for yourself.

That responsibility thing is a Bi$%^.

Besides, physics is SO HARD to understand, so much easier to say "godidit" and be done.

A vacuum is something.

Uh, no, a vacuum is the absence of 'something'. Specifically it is the abscence of matter, which would allow for it to contain light, but it does not contain light by definition, so a vacuum could very well be 'nothing'.

...unless you are speaking of a vacuum cleaner, which isn't quite the same thing.

Hey- I thought you were going to give me the last word.

Usually, when someone does that, the person with the last word knows better than to use it for a put-down. Next time, be gracious, and I won't change my mind.
