NOTHING VS. SOMETHING

Mysteries share an absence of salient facts.
Our greatest discoveries have initially come from guesswork.
Guessing is the obvious path for reasoning to proceed in the absence of facts.
What is missing, sometimes is a clue to guess effectively.
Many mysteries seem solved by spinning nothing but the missing facts.
You can even drown a mystery in facts and still be substantially wrong.
Therefore solving mysteries shares guesswork from 'nothing' as much as indisputable facts, if not more.
If this is true, truth is just a biased ego construct. Something like truth faces obstacles like impermanence and entropy so it surprises me that truth exists at all. Trust is only a belief in truth.

So it seems reasonable that everything was created from nothing as in the big bang since nothing has the apparent advantage of nothing.
Besides, physicists say something is composed of mostly empty space.
