actually, something can theoretically come out of nothing. Stephen Hawking explained something about space-time fluxuations (or something with space-time) caused the 1/1000th of a second simultaneous occurance of matter and anti-matter particles which destroy each other as quickly as they appear. however, some factor caused them not to wipe each other out again, causing the first matter. but, I havne't read it in years so you'd have to read his works your self unfortunately.
