The something from nothing argument is essentially a fallacy. God believers say there can't be something (they usually point to the BB theory) from nothing so must be God. Big Bang believers point the mountains of evidence for the BB theory which points to the Universe as we know it indeed coming from 'essentially nothing'.
In reality it is an argument not even worth having. There never was a nothing that then became something. There was always something, whatever that was. There is no valid evidence for any of the Gods people have believed throughout the ages, and now, so I say just pick your superstitions if you want to have them and move on. Leave people interested in science and discovery to their own devices as they try to learn more and more of what is knowable, leaving the unknown where it belongs, in the to be discovered pile.
Meanwhile I'm perfectly happy with the limited knowledge of what is currently knowable, that at some point for whatever reason an event happened that created what we currently think of as the Universe. The ultimate why and from where do not seem answerable at this point. We currently seem only able to know how the Universe evolved after that point. To speculate on Gods and whatever came before and then _believe_ in them is bad for you.
