I ask for a bridge and you show me the stairs.

Very well, I shall join you below, though I am now mostly awake and have just eaten, so my descent may be slower than you or I should like. Let us continue this discussion as I work my way down.

First, why is nothingness so important to you? Can God create nothing? If so and creations must exhibit all aspects of their creator, then nothing is everything. By the same reasoning, that creations must exhibit all aspects of their creator, man is omnipotent, therefore man is god and created himself. It all seems to boil down to the undeniable truth that everything including nothing is everything and therefore nothing.
