Do you see in your daily experience white elephants pop up out into existence from nothing ? or whatever else you might imagine ? of course not. it is obvious that from absolutely nothing, nothing derives, since absolutely nothing is the absence of anything, and has no potentialities.

it seems you do not carefully read what i write. Not everything must have a cause, but everything that beginst to exist , needs a cause. The universe makes no exeption here.
