And by definition nothing exists when there is Nothing to stop that Nothing from becoming something else. And note that whatever then happens will also be totally uncaused, except insofar as it is caused by Nothing itself.

 

I don’t recall seeing you quote sources much, now that I think about it.

You are the one who took it upon yourself to say my words were a “Complete misrepresentation”.

Prior to attacking my words I would have thought you might investigate what I said Carrier said.  It isn’t hard, he has been going on with this back to front nonsense for years and years.  It is in his videos, his lectures, his blogs…

His topsy turvy stance is that absolutely nothing at all can produce something because there are no rules in nothing to stop it, and literally anything can spontaneously pop out of absolutely nothing at all without any cause, thereby.

For Carrier things do not happen for reasons necessarily, stuff can just go poof and literally anything can pop out of nothing for no reason at all.  He might just as well be a theist with that sort of thinking.
