Cultural tradition always made each one admits that the pattern of the Existence is the Nothing: everything has to come from the Nothing, in sum.

But what is «the Nothing»?

As a category, it is the logical contradiction of the existence. It means that it is the not-existence.
 
That was the way that the first theology of the Roman Christian Catholicism used to conceive the before of the Nature:  everything coming from the Nothing due to divine omnipotence — as the divinity can everything. And so, that divinity created every existence just from the Nothing, absolutely. Even because we use to watch each reality getting existence (and is the custom that makes the traditions...) from a given moment.

That's why we admit that, before be something, everything wasn't.

Hence the conclusion that Nothing is pattern of the existence. Being that, in the whole of the rational procedure, it is nothing but a logical premise, not necessarily true. And that it could lie, as a fundament, behind a (or in the beginning of a) syllogistic dialectics — thus became vicious.

The scientists of the contemporary cosmology (including them) they sight the existence of the Nature like this: as coming from the Nothing. Paul Davies, himself, a well-known scientific discloser and recognized professor in the university, sustains such thesis in his books.
 
But happens that nothing (I mean: anything) can come from the Nothing.
 
So, it can't happen that the pattern of the existence was/is the Nothing; is the Absolute instead it. The absolute Existence.
