Thank you for your repsone grissly.
I have not read Rundle, but I will not 100% subsribe to any individual or idea who of disposing nothing. Why hasn't there been more press about it? This is humanity's $1,000,000 question! Why is there matter instead of nothing? Why is there even space instead of no-space?
You are right that we cannot compare the cosmos to anything, and perhaps if we could that would only push the question about "god" further back, but not resolve it.
No offense, but I am tired about hearing about Ockhams's razor. It is not a law, but a measuring devise. Athiest who boil "down" to Ockham's razor tires me out. The conception of "god" is getting more complicated and cannot be chalked up to Ockham's razor.
We need to question our existence and where we came from, and to me that is "god". Does that support Ockham's razor
