This is almost exactly the point I tried to make on this forum nearly a year ago. Other posters countered by saying that, even at the point of the BB, the Universe was infinite. I had difficulty getting my head round that then, and I think I am no nearer now. This seems to suggest that, at some level, we are on the same side. Could it be just the use of "intinite" that causes the schism?

There never was nothing.
