Matt: Is void a vacuum of space, David, or is it a solid?&#13;&#10;> &#13;&#10;> No thing is no thing. Beyond our universe is nothing. Our universe has its particular and peculiar space with quantum potentiality. Our universe is all that is. Nothing is not something. A void is a void is a void. (Gertrude Stein)It is not a space vacuum nor is it solid. Complete nothingness. If I could lay my eyes on the philosophers who agree with me I would quote for you, but I don&apos;t know where to look at the moment. The universe expands, against resistence or against nothingness?-You SO get my point but you also don&apos;t get my point. You can&apos;t be &quot;against&quot; [or resist] something that doesn&apos;t exist. There is existence. There is nothing else.[/b] -If the universe came &quot;from nothing&quot; but is contained &quot;within&quot; God--you engage in a pure contradiction. It really is that simple. The corollary becomes &quot;God is nothing.&quot; -Lets try this a third way. In the beginning, there is God. God is the entirety of the universe--God is all that exists. God then &quot;thinks&quot; in its mind, an extension of its own existence. It&apos;s not a separate existence. It&apos;s still the universe. If I think a world in my mind, I&apos;m still the universe, and my thought is merely an extension. It is NOT a separate thing. -This is &quot;Something creating something else.&quot; There is no void between universe and God, there is only universe. The continuity that is existence is never broken. <--This observation is the key, and this has solidified as final a position as I could ever take. It is not possible to state that the universe and God are separate things without negating God. -The question &quot;Why is there something rather then nothing,&quot; now applies to God.-[EDITED]

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
