Can you point to science that empirically demonstrates something coming from absolutely nothing?
No, right? So the idea that nothing can come from nothing, is based on an assumption.
Which was the entire point of the comment you responded to, if I'm not mistaken.
Someone pointed out that the relevance of the past to the future is a pure assumption. Even the usual argument that an otherwise unmotivated heuristic is valid -- "it's always worked in the past" -- can't legitimately be used for this point, since it assumes the truth of the question under consideration.
We have no idea what it even means to be outside of our expanding spacetime into that ‘nothingness’ because time doesn’t even exist there, so we couldn’t compute a thought if we travelled there anyway to attempt to grok what the hell was going on.
