Raphael ic asks, would you deny that the only possible rational hypothesis about something is that it came from nothing? Nothing is the absolute negativity. It reaches the point of denying itself, something being comes about. The universe is the ever developing conflict between nothingness and somethingness. We can't therefore conclude that the null hypothesis is false. That's not reliable evidence.
