Well, the argument in the OP is flawed, particularly because we don't talk of laws having existence. Abstract laws and rules, by definition, do not exist, even now. Point being, someone cannot point to law, and say, "There it is. It resides under my dining room table." In other words, a law is not a thing.
However, the argument that something cannot come from nothing is not a necessary truth. Bertrand Russell made this argument a long time ago, and I tend to agree with it. There's no logical contradiction in saying something came from nothing. Its perfectly possible for a dog to not exist one second and then exist the next second, with nothing causing it.
The argument that something cannot come from nothing is an inductive argument, and, in my opinion, it is a strong one because we do not have any examples of something existing uncaused, however, something existing uncaused is still possible and within reason.
