As for >>22, it seems to be pretty much begging the question in relation to the statement "it is not possible for something to be created out of nothing" by saying that "nothing" does not exist. Furthermore, The concept "nothing" is a denial of the existence of a particular entity really does not seem to be describing the concept most people mean when they say "nothing". Making up new meanings for familiar words is not very clever or useful.

But ideas are getting confused here. I was not arguing against any objectivist definitions, I was arguing against that page linked earlier.
