Do you, Dr. Craig, I'm a Christian, I'm trying to hold together faith in God.

Anyway, the question was, is it even possible for nothing to exist?

Because if we got rid of this universe, wouldn't there just be some sort of boy?

I would really like your help on this.

I plan on doing philosophy as I go to college in January.

So I'm just trying to hold my faith together and learn and grow in Christ.

Well, there are a couple of things going on here, but not only his question about nothingness

and is it even possible for nothing to exist?

But he also seems to be struggling a little bit.

I noticed that, and I wonder why he doesn't seem to let on as to what it is

that is causing him difficulty, the language of holding on rather than flourishing.

And I just know in my past, in my work with the Lord, that sometimes I felt like I was on hold

in my 20s and 30s and so on until I get a certain question answered.

You know what? I don't feel like I can keep going with the vigor in my relationship with the Lord

until I get this issue settled.

God has always been very gracious to me, Bill.

I have gotten the answers, not that I know it all, but to my satisfaction,

my disturbing questions, God has graciously given me resources and insight to the point that I could move on.

But this does seem like, from this college student, something that kind of has him on hold a little bit.

Right, and that's unfortunate because I don't think everyone is as fortunate as you are, Kevin.

I think many times, Christians will not be able to receive the answers to their questions

because perhaps they're geographically isolated, someone in Siberia or in the Sudan,
