    The subject matter greatly interests me. Anywhere I can get the book for a reasonable price?
    The only places I'm seeing it for sale are asking a $115.00.

    “Nothing comes from nothing.” Okay, what about the Big Bang? Have you thought about that? It is totally possible that absolutely nothing existed before that.

      The Big Bang was the decompression of matter.

      I like how you reference a school level "theory" such as "the big ban theory".
      Your argument that something can come from nothing is older than the BB theory.
      Your argument is a series of inquiries in reverse, it end at the begging with non-existence.
      This argument is explained by the Jewish Kalam, which was an early medieval style of Jewish philosophy that evolved in response to Kalam in Islam, which in turn was a reaction against Aristotelianism.
      Another name was "mutakallemim".
      Please don't be silly enough to message back that your an atheist, and that religion and science are in opposition, as the church and science have always been partners in theories.

    It's "Glasgo" not like Americans pronounce "Moscow".
