Maybe we struggle with the idea of something from nothing because all around us things come from something then go back into something else. We are born, we grow, we die. Go back far enough and the earth will not have formed, go forward far enough and it will be no more. Same applies to the sun. But in each case we can trace the path of energy that temporarily is arranged to form an earth and a sun and then is re-arranged in another form.
Indeed but the universe does that too, it continually creates stars, planets, gallaxies from existing matter then recycles them which adds to the conundrum of the universe starting from nothing,..........If in the begining there was nothing,then where does all the matter in the universe, including ourselves, originate.?
