![]() By raising that question, Krauss inadvertently makes a case for the existence of a necessary Being that has a Mind in which such laws could have existed, thereby giving an apologetic for the God of the Bible. Krauss himself raises the question as to where the laws of quantum physics could have resided before the Big Bang since “the more fundamental nothingness” is not sufficient to hold such ideas. He proposes that a “more fundamental nothingness” is what came before the Big Bang, and he then applies several of God’s attributes- omnipotence, infinity, and necessity-to that “more fundamental nothingness.” It’s impossible, though, for a “more fundamental nothingness,” which has no being, to possess such attributes. Well into his book, Krauss addresses what came “before” the Big Bang. So Krauss’s “nothing” is not really no thing, but is in fact something. He qualifies his definition of nothingness, though, to mean “empty space,” and then he fills that “empty space” with matter and antimatter ruled by the laws of quantum physics. Lawrence Krauss writes that recent scientific discoveries show the universe could have come from nothing.
