How is something created from nothing?

I am aware of the "Big Bang" Theory for which a Nobel Prize was awarded to three Bell Labs Scientists (my place of employment for 32 years). I always asked, "Where did the gases come from, how did they get in just the correct position, and what was the source of the ignition that caused the Creation?"

I don't know the answer to those questions, but I do believe that those elements were the creation of a very powerful force. That force I call GOD, others may call it a stone or something else. But I am comfortable accepting the idea that a very powerful force caused the Creation. Until there is proof of how the elements necessary for the creation (making something from nothing) were made out of nothing can be shown, I will accept GOD as the Creator.

An interesting exercise is to close your eyes and try to comprehend TOTAL NOTHINGNESS - that is no Solar System, No Planets, No vegetation, No Seasons, No People. I can't comprehend such a scenario. But if that did exist, where did the elements of the Creation come from?

Interesting you should ask this- I mentioned previously that I had an NDE, and right at hte end of the experience, I felt complete nothingness- I remember trying to explain the feeling, but I couldn’t adequately describe the terror of it- the best I could do was to say that it was a terror 5that was seperate from my nothingness, but it still was somehow able to affect the nothiness feeling. I know it doesn’t make sense- but with the whole hell-like experience of the NDE, it seemed to me at the time to be better off feeling the existence and sufferign in hell than to experience the nothingness and being aware of it- I guess the overhwelming feeling was that of totalt seperation and isolation, yet having awareness somehow.
