Can something come from nothing?

Anything that stands in direct relation to something else--must exist. Existence, then, takes in a lot of territory--material, emotional, psychological, analytical, and, at least for the person who believes, God. But, "nothing," exists only in the relationship of an absence of something, and is excluded, therefore, from existing independently. "Nothing" does not exist--it is because "nothing" is a mere place holder (like the concept zero) that whatever exists, visa vice the physical Big Bang, it does so by being in a direct relationship to the big bang and that something is not nothing.
