                  The common problem of               from      ‘nothing’,      says:
               all  physical  models  is  that        “There  is  nothing  here;  I

               they  use  the  notion  of             will  concede  that;  But  it’s
               “physical        nothingness”          an  extremely  interesting
               which is not a real nothing            form of nothing. There was

               at  all.  By  this  notion,            nothing originally. There is
               physicists     mean      empty         nothing  here  now;  But
               space  in  which  quantum              [through]  whatever  event

               fields,  a  non-zero  amount           happened  at  the  inception
               of  field  energy,  or  a              of  the  universe,  it  became
               powerful  electromagnetic              an  interesting  form  of

               field  (Berdyugin,  et  al,            nothing, which seems to be
               2022) remain.                          something”.
                  In  effect,  “absolute  non-           That is, he, as a chemist,

               existence”  sharply  differs           claims  that  the  entire
               from “physical nothingness”.           universe        is      actually
               Thus,  no  physical  model             ‘nothing’!  Ironically,  this
               can ever explain creatio ex            position  does  confirm  that

               nihilo.                                “out  of  nothing,  nothing
                  It  seems,  therefore,  that        comes”.  So,  the  causal
               the  basic  principle  of              origin  of  the  existent

               metaphysics,  “ex  nihilo,             universe        cannot       be
               nihil fit” is correct.                 “nothing”.

               Craig’s      insistence     that       claims  that  the  laws  of
               ‘something’  cannot  come              physics  could  have  created
