If nothing existed, there would be, well, 'nothing' to explain.

I take that for a rhetorical flourish rather than a question.

It was another failed attempt at humour.
It is also wrong. It should have read; 'That St.Paul, what's he like? eh! he'd say mass.' as the Collossian quote you made was actually from a letter from St.Paul to them.
You knew all that of course.
But my original Colossians quip was to keep all those lesser mortals in here in on the joke. Bringing up Paul out of the blue might go over their heads.
There's the why.

Didn't work obviously.

If nothing existed, it would still run to 500 pages on this forum!

Eeh, what I'd give for Roy Paul to be in our starting eleven these days. Joe Gomez et al would need several pairs of brown shorts!

Oh that’s an awkward question so they get around it by saying he’s been an ever present and needed no beginning. Makes sense eh?

Many scientists believed that about the universe and some believe that still to be the case - https://phys.org/news/2015-02-big-quantum-equation-universe.html

Some theorise that. No one but religion claims to know for sure.

Ah, I was just thinking 'Would a vacuum be counted as nothing?' and then I thought that if it were nothing it wouldn't have a name! (See how the threads increase and the pages multiply?)

IMO the concept of an eternal something without a beginning or an end is either acceptable or unacceptable. One can't claim that science can allow for it but religion can't.

The link works for me.

You’re ignoring the word some rather than it being mainstream.
