I answered your question in a number of ways. We are limited creatures, attempting to figure how we got here. Science admits that from the beginning, stating clearly that nothing it claims is ever certain. We are always learning and always proving earlier theories false. There is no way out of that. Scripture agrees, as when Moses asked to see God and God shows him his backside.
Iām not going to defend Kraussā use of the word ānothingā. It does not fit with my daily use of the word. But Krauss and physicists arenāt writing papers for me anymore than I could look at a blueprint of a skyscraper and comment its terms. But I will go up in a 100 story elevator, because I trust the process. Itās not arbitrary. Itās not a roll of the dice. Itās trust based knowledge of the process of engineering. Do you know what Iām talking about?
