Coded Logic: "Happens all the time. It's called the Casimir Effect."-- If this force inherent in the vacuum, the void would have been present in the pre-beginning realm, It would negate the idea of a self made Universe out of nothing, since the effect, the inward pressure on the plates, is an expression of energy, it can never be called nothing. perhaps there was never a time when there was nothing, and then the presence of a creator or the equivalent what we would have to call it, becomes a possibility. and: the small casimir effect is thought to be minute, compared to the energy that is really present, churning in the virtual vacuum.
"--the total sum energy of our universe is zero.--" wrong imho. just because the dynamic energy (movement) nearly balances the energy locked up in the form of matter (hence gravity), and the two balance, like in the Earth's orbit does not mean that there is zero energy in the system, au contraire, there are 2 not zero energies. 2 energies that are balanced, but add up to two, just like the weight and the merchandise on the other side of the balance scale. and:
then there is the excess energy that causes the accelerated expansion of the the universe. make it 3 not 0. so:
While the presence of energy. and by extension time is understood to be present in the void is no proof that a creator exist, it at least proves that conditions existed that made creative works possible, god? that is another question.
