Not much. Not enough. This insinuates there is SOME sort of evidence, be it minute or not....elaborate please.

Nothing IS possible.
What is nothing?
Well, according to Kabbalists who believe the tree of life is a map of the universe:
"One must begin, as a mathematician would, with the idea of Zero. Absolute Zero, which turns out on examination to mean any quantity that one may choose, but not, as the layman may first suppose, Nothing, in the 'absense-of anything' vulgar sense of the word.
The Kabbalists expanded this idea of Nothing, and got a second kind of Nothing which they called 'Ain Soph" - "Without Limit". (This idea seems not unlike that of space.) They then decided that in order to interpret this mere absence of any means of definition, it was necessary to postulate the Ain Soph Aur - "Limitless Light". (The Space-Time Continuum?)
All this is evidently without form and void; these are abstract conditions, not positive ideas. The next step must be the idea of position. One must formulate this thesis: If there is anything except Nothing, it must exist within this Boundless Light; within this space; within this inconceivable Nothingness, which cannot exist as Nothingness, but has to be conceived of as Nothingness composed of the annihilation of two imaginary opposites. Thus appears THE POINT, which has 'neither parts nor magnitude, but only position'."
And from there, it goes on to describe the formation of matter, motion, time and more.
Hehehe, so there you have it.
