You're sort of just spinning words there though. I could just as easily say that nothing doesn't exist. So everything must exist. And the sum of everything must include nothing, or else it wouldn't be everything. So nothing must exist.

But it's not really that convincing is it?

Nonetheless, I think there's better evidence in favor of nothing than of something.
