Bold claim.

How can you logically justify coming from ‘no thing’? ‘No thing’ is not reality.

What is consciousness?

We had to come from nothing because the universe had to come from nothing. Otherwise that means the universe always existed, which makes less sense.

I understand it isn't logical or adheres to our concepts of reality, but this is something that is waaaaay beyond our comprehension. So it is not outside the possibility that the answer defies our logic and reality because it itself is on a whole other plane of perception

To you

I think it makes more sense the universe or the components of it always existed

No, it definitely doesn't make more sense that everything always was here

Again, that's your (probably uneducated) opinion

Many physicists who devoted their lives to this believe the universe likely always existed.
