"void"
Satan tells God: "I don't need you, I can create man without you.." So Satan starts to bend over and he reaches for some dirt from the ground... and Gd tells him: "Get your own dirt!"

I suspect that the "void" we call outer space, has always existed, because the void is nothingness and you can't create nothing because it is "nothing". It's just empty "space" to put things in.
Empty space is something to put things in. It is not known if ES existed before the bb. I think that it did not exist before the bb but came into existence as part of our universe because it is part of our universe..(Just my guess)
Suppose you were to remove all forms of matter and energy from the universe, could space exist on its own or does it need something?

fisherman, Why can't we view God in an heuristic sort of way
I conclude that:
beCause: design, the sign, and proof of not only that he exists but also that he has power over reality (time, space, physics, the universe, events, emotions, thoughts , everything..) As such, he is the eternal substance that is the source of everything in the universe, hence, everything is either part of his person (maybe time: credit to prologos) or created by him.

somehow you are qualified to critique the science.
Science fiction about what existed before the creation of the universe is not science.
No
How do you know?
There was no explosion
in terms of matter ( re:pressure temperature density), if no matter existed yet to explode, it did not, but in terms of expansion and dispersion of the contents of the universe suddenly doubling in size every fraction of a second, it is just a matter of semantics -but you are correct, according to what scientists think at this time describes the big bang, it was not an explosion in any physical sense as setting off a bomb. (this is a great point you made.)

“nothing” is most often unstable. Not only can something arise from nothing, but most often the laws of physics require that to occur. - Lawrence Krauss
Depends on what is being referred to as "nothing." Krauss is a science fiction writer. He dreams about what existed before the universe was formed.
Did energy (matter) exist before the "big bang?"
Did location or space exist before the big bang?
Did time exist without space before the big bang?
What in the world exploded into the big bang?
Did any laws or information exist before the big bang?
Is there some primordial substance that is the source of of the universe and everything in it?
no one has scientific evidence that shows.........

What about the idea that we have a mirror twin universe where the arrow of time is in reverse? Could be but how do you prove it?
Science Fiction... or the idea that the universe is only part of a bigger picture like cell is part of an organism.
it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?
the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.
the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

....entropy...Rather, it means that "nothing" is inherently unstable and will always produce something. -CL
That is nonsense. How do you know that properties of substances and conditions and the laws that describe them in the universe also apply before its formation.

Given: "The Big Bang"
Before the big bang, something (some substance) existed that exploded into the big bang.
The only thing that makes sense to me is that something must be eternal. That substance (something) is the cause and source of everything that exists.
In terms of the universe as we know it, before the big bang, nothing existed. That "nothing" can be described as or compared to something that was never born -it does not exist.

Pure energy can linger eternally in time and not know it.
Energy is a (physical ) property of an object. If the "void" had some form of energy then the void and the energy that described it always existed, hence, something always existed. And that something cannot be called nothing.
Nothing is very easy to understand. It simply means non existent, no properties, no energy -nothing.
Void is a very deceptive term to use if used to describe non existence. The term void implies something more than non existent, perhaps a condition of emptiness or vacuum.
My guess is that at some point in time nothing existed, no energy, no void,
(By the way great posts!!) -as usual.
