How the Universe came from nothing by Krauss?

What does Lawrence Krauss mean by nothing?

“Nothing” used to be taken as an empty void, the space in which no particles exist. I mean, it really is what learning is all about.” The old definition of “nothing”—Krauss called it “that from which only God can create something”—was never much of a definition to go on, anyway.

What does science mean by nothing?

What is the point of Richard Dawkins’ intelligent design argument?

How can something come from nothing?
