An Agnostic Perspective
Nothing exists in a vaccuum. Fact. If nothing exists in a vaccuum, there has to be a vacuum, as it is where nothing exists, which is something. The vaccum is something, which means that nothing is also something, if it was not in a vaccuum where would it be? (The only place nothing exists is in a vaccum.) It wouldn't be, period, it would be something. Which means nothing would be something. Nihil esse quid. Nothing is also something, which means nothing doesn't exist, as something exists. Something must exist, outside the vacuum. Which it does. The universe and everything in it just an example. As to the existence of anything else, that's an arguement adsurdum. A premise being true only because it has not been proven false, or that a premise is false only because it has not been proven true, is a logical fallacy.
Everything in existence has an essential nature to it, it has structure. This is essentialism. What something is, is more important than what it could be. Essense, structure, is more important than than it's general existence. What it is, is more important than that it is. The quiddity (whatness / somethingness) of existence is more important than the quality and quantity of existence, itself. It stands to reason then, that nothing is less important than existence, if something is more important than existence. Nothing is secondary to existence, if something is nothing. Nothing is less important than existence, itself. Nothing is less certain than existence. Nothing is then, therefore, more uncertain than existence. Uncertain is synonymous with less certainty. Secondary is synonymous with less important. And lesser is synonymous with negative.
Nothing is more negative than existance. Nothing is more contradictory than existence. Nothing is in more denial than existence. 'More denial than' is synonymous with 'no'. No is synonymous with non. Nothing is non existence, therefore since nothing is something, and something...
