Well something had to of caused the big bang, in which something else caused the cause of the bing bang, from which something else created that cause, and so on, for infinity. Your rules of natural law simply prove infinity does exist. There could of never been nothing. Because if there was we wouldn't be here. Something cannot come from nothing. The universe has always existed in some form. By not believing it has existed for infinity you believe some magical thing occured to create something from nothing. Which side of this debate are you really on?

I think you've answered your own question right there.
Don't assume though that just because I know about such things as the non-existence of souls, that I can explain everything about the universe. I know some things but not others.
On the subject of matter appearing out of 'nowhere', this is something which happens with common frequency. It is suspected that the universe has a 'net zero charge'. This means that all of the charges on all of the particles of matter in the universe add up to zero. For example, if you have a hundred positively charged particles and a hundred negatively charged particles and added up their collective charges you would get zero.
Experiments in space have shown that matter can 'pop' into existence and then out of existence spontaneously. For example, an electon may have been detected to have 'popped' into existence within an otherwise emply chamber, which means that somewhere else in the universe a positron must also have 'popped' into existence at the same time, only to disappear at the same time also, assuming that the net zero charge theory is correct and taking into account that experimentation can show that two particles can be 'connected' across huge distance.
All fascinating stuff, but thats when we start getting into quantum mechanics, string theory, etc and GFY is hardly the place for that. You'd be better off visiting an astrophysics forum for those kind of answers.
Ordinary physics is complicated enough, but quantum mechanics really is a journey into the weird.
