Can there be something without the existence of nothing? (Btw, ever notice that nothing is a conjugation of 'no-thing,' just as nothingness is 'no-thing-ness.')

The Elysium's Passage novel series I've been writing has many themes, but perhaps the most central is about the afterlife. Of course, the novels are fictitious, but some of my real-life encounters over the last ten years have been with those who have passed on to the spiritual dimension.
