Blitz, I don't think anyone cares whether "nothingness" exists or not. It exists in the same realm as gods and ghosts: unverifiable and therefore outside the purview of science.
We are free to speculate and philosophize, but in the end we have no way of knowing whether the universe was always here, sprang from nothing, or was
created.
We've evidence to support various theories, but ultimately when trying to assess the nature of something so distant in the past, it is statistically moronic to assert with any confidence that something must have happened a certain way. That is why reasonable people do not. As Lune said, we cannot know what preceded the Big Bang, assuming it was indeed a thing.
Asserting itherwise is akin to the madness of man-made climate change.
Our climate data for the past 250 years or so suggest that the earth which has been here for 4,500,000,000 years and which we suspect to undergoes wild climate deviations of periods of thousands of years is most certainly warming due to human activity. 97% of the great minds who devote their lives to substantiating the proposition agree it is the truth. How could they be wrong?
