Very rarely I will again any response!!
If there nothing never existed, never ever anything will exist anywhere.
This is the ‘rational’ question of aseity and the inevitable necessity of
infinite regress. What is more rational ? Aseity of ‘dead matter’ that create
life? Or aseity of LIFE with creating both dead matter and life forms?
Patriarchs, Prophets and the Apostles expounded the aseity of Adonai
(plural) YHWH (singular) Elohim (plural). A corollary from Genesis is the
Sabbath—the seventh day and the seven days of the week which has no rhyme or
reason in any astronomy or solar, lunar, planetary equations. The Western
academia (WAMP-the-Ingrate) arbitrarily accepted the Scriptural
Sabbath and Sabbatical. The compelling addition of the first day also was
because of the 100% Jewish earliest Church (“multitudes”) on Acts 17: 17-24,
that witnessed the earth rending Resurrection on the First Day.
Empiricism counts!

Yes.

True, and in that situation things would not be reversible; a cellular
automation like Conway's LIFE is not reversible and for the same reason.
Something can be 100% deterministic in the forward time dimension but not in
the backward time dimension, but so far at least nobody has any experimental
evidence that fundamental physics has that property, fundamental physics can't
explain why you can't unscramble an egg, you need more than the laws of physics
to explain that you need to invoke initial conditions. That situation could
change if some of Stephen Wolfram's ideas turn out to be correct, but so far
there is no evidence that they are.
