Peter van Inwagen makes this argument - attached. It is only true if the prior possibilities of Every Something
and Nothing are equal, though the former have varying degrees of complexity, some exceedingly so, whereas
Nothing is utter simplicity. TBD
Covered in our book The Mystery of Existence: Why is there Anything At All. Please send me your address and
I'll forward a copy.

Liebniz really did not understand probability and statistics. It is probablistically easy, there are many , in
fact an infinite somethings. and only 1 nothing. . there is only 1 zero . so the probability of something is
infinitely greater than the probality of nothing. ::))

Looking forward to Skype / FaceTime - after August 25.
I see that you've had interactions with Marvin Minsky and Lawrence Krauss.
I had a special relationship with Marvin - here are links to my tributes to him (with videos from Closer To
Truth).

Lawrence is also a friend from Closer To Truth. I wrote a short response to his book Something/Nothing -
"Levels of Nothing" - in Skeptic magazine from my book with the philosopher John Leslie, The Mystery of
Existence: Why is there Anything At All? Lawrence's 'Nothing' is my Number 5 Nothing' out of 9 Levels of
Nothing.
