      Here's a thought.

      Rebecca adds:
      Absence is not nothingness, as David points out. Absence implies lack of presence (but previous or present existence) while nothingness imples lack of existence... a rather important distinction. Implying that something absent does not or has not existed doesn't seem to me like a very useful way of looking at the universe.
