I was in a debate earlier about the paradox of God supposedly being able to 'exist' while at the same time being objectified from existence (in order to create it). And it got me thinking.

The way I understand physics, is that the universe is expanding and with it space/time. I was wondering how exactly space/time expands into nothingness, or the absence of space-time. Because nothingness isn't some 'space' to move around in, as it is negated by the fact that it is nothingness...or no space at all. So adding onto the debate on 'how can God be objectified from existence', how can the universe expand existence into non-existence? And for that matter, how can two (or more) different existences exist as their own separate totalities (parallel worlds, separate universes, etc.) when there is "nothing" to separate them? Two objects can't be seen parallel to one another in a void of 'nothingness' (because nothingness isn't a void but rather no space or time existing).

I was just wondering if any of you thinkers out there had any thoughts on this.
