Everything Was Made From 'Nothing.'

That's assuming too much. Geometric objects don't exist in the physical realm; there's technically no such thing as "2D". Where the space for the universe came from is outside the studyable realm of science.

True enough, but that doesn't change the fact it can be used for a theoretical model.

Einstein never denyed the existence of a god. He only claimed he never believed in a personal one, "personal" being the key word. But that's beside the point; I never said he believed in God, I said he never denied the possibility of one existing, and encouraged religion in fact. He was a self-proclaimed agnostic; to quote him (in context), he once said, "There are people who say there is no God, but what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views." There are numerous occasions where he scoffed at atheists. No offense, just what the guy said.

And equal occasions where he disapproved of blindly religious people.

That's subject to the physical realm alone. You cannot ever, through logic, explain what the definition of "life" is, for example.

Of course you can, there are just multiple definitions, it depends on a person's view.
A perfect example, one of my favourite quotes:
"I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image."
