The God Problem

[IV. x. 8.] "Something from eternity. There is no truth more evident, than that something must be from eternity. I never yet heard of anyone so unreasonable, or that could suppose so manifest a contradiction, as a time, wherein there was perfectly nothing.

While reading chapter 4 of this book I found this section of passage 8 quite interesting. It caused me to sit back and actually take in and think about what he had said. He says that he has not heard of anyone so illogical that could cause such a huge conflict when there was perfectly nothing. I am kind of confused by the last part (there was perfectly nothing), but I think that it is amazing to think that there is someone or something out there that means so much to so many on earth, yet we don't even know who it is who where it is or how it is. How is it that someone/something created everything from nothing?
