Oh, we can have it that way too, if it suits better. In fact it takes a lot more to hang on to that 'nothing' ! People are more comfortable with some tangible form to surrender oneself to, that is why so many Gods world over.
That nothing-ness is quite powerful. We HAVE to be in touch with that nothing each day for a while to maintain a stable something. Only that we are unable to do it consciously(it happens when we sleep). Once we learn to consciously step into that nothing else, things would be totally different to such a person !

Well,
Once there was nothing.
Then there was God
And God said: "Hey, how could I have come from nothing?"
So God went back in time and created Himself.
Then God put some stuff into the nothing so it wouldn't be so boring.
One day, some of the stuff found God and said: "Who are you?"
And God said:
"I am the alpha & omega, the begining and the end."
"I am the father and the son."
And that's why there's God rather than nothing.

That's a big assumption...
My theory is...
There's no such thing as nothing, because to imagine a state of nothingness, is to imagine "something"
So the "absence of anything" is actually the "presence of something"
So the "presence of nothing" is actually the "absence of something, which in turn means that...
I'm getting a headache...(which brings up the question... is the feeling of pain "something?" But how could something that has no matter or particle presence be "something"
Now it's become a migraine...
Doctor?!? Do you have anything for pain caused by the contemplation of nothing...and if pain is nothing, why does it hurt?
All right...that's it...I'm taking up drinking again...it's no use...
But how could "it" be nothing that has zero use?
I'm leaving now...

before I answer the question, I have another question in my mind, Is there really GOD? and Where is he?. In terms of religion, God is the only one who created everything big and small. there is nothing because there is God and nothing can not create anything because it is nothing.

To be fair to god, god has just as likely of a chance to exist as we do. There is no reason we exist, no reason why god might exist. There is no reason for us to know, because believe it or not, there doesn't have to be. There doesn't have to be a reason, things are just because they happen randomly to be this way. Just be glad that you can comprehend your own existance and slow down your life enough to enjoy the fleeting moments of it.
If you're asking why is there a God for society, that is because god is the father figure kids go to for justice. They use the name of god and decree things as bad or go and make laws accordingly and when people ask in what power or right do they have, they can say in god's power, in god's right. The idea of god was needed for a society to function in the days of yore...not not so much.
