I think he's saying that the whole concept of "nothingness" is man-made.

Yes. There can be no reason or cause for somethingness since it itself would be something. So why is there something rather than nothing? Because something is and nothingness isn't unless it is created in somethingness.

Neither do my posts. All I'm saying is that if existence cannot be caused then it is the default state of being.
It seems mind boggling if we assume that existence is eternally old, but just as nothing turned out to be something, so too is the case with time being different than we conceive of it (as einstein showed). If time only begins as a sequence of cause and effects from the emergence of space then at the zero point where existence is only a singularity (where quantum mechanics override causality), neither space-time nor nothingness exists.
If it turns out that space does not have a smallest unit perhaps it is the same with time where there is no first instance, where we can keep dividing infinitely into the past with what is essentially a finite amount of time.
