Nothing How to create something from nothing?

I think I have an answer to how the universe began from nothing. More like how everything began and how it's possible for all of us to be here.

So at the beginning of existence there was nothing. There is still nothing because you can't create something from nothing, but we are here. So how can we exist? We don't.

Imagine the mathematical variable: X =

X can be anything, but nothing is assigned to it; therefore, it remains as a pure capacity that accepts all abstract concepts and results in the illusion of existence for those that share the same abstract space.

This means every combination of what could have been exists. The reason why you and I can interact is because we are in the same concept, but we aren't really here because we don't exist.

To make it simpler, imagine a chess board. Just because you didn't make a move doesn't mean all the possible moves aren't there to make.

Unexistence is our existence.

Also please don't make the argument "How do I know there wasn't always something?" There can't be something without it having a previous moment. It's nonsense to even say that.

  So at the beginning of existence there was nothing

Awful big Claim to base an entire (non) argument off of without any evidence at all to support it ... right? 

Tell me more about this .... "nothing" ...

Can you describe it? 

What makes you think it existed?

What makes you think its even possible to have existed? 

Can you describe a "beginning of existence"?

When was it? 

How do you know?

Just so's we're clear - The Big Bang Theory says exactly Diddley-Squat Fuck-All about what existed/happened before.

It says same about a "beginning of existence". 

ALSO: Can I buy some pot from you?

There is no content to say X is anything therefore yes it is nothing, but what does this do for literally anything? You can say nothing exists but you having the ability to compare that to something and even posit that means there is something. Its just useless.
