Energy and matter are interchangeable, one can be turned into the other.
So far as I'm aware, the Big Bang is still the accepted notion of the beginning of the current state of things, a vast amount of energy the loosed the Universe. So, while matter may have equaled zero at one point, energy did not, so you didn't have something from nothing.
The question of where that energy came from, of course, is unknown. But it's impossible to do the science that has it coming from nothing. If it came from God (as I believe,) it's coming from something, God. If it truly just popped into existence with nothing as its origins, it happened under laws of physics that are no longer valid.

What your saying is untrue in terms of something from nothing.
Nothing always existed and that's something.
What people fail to understand because of our indoctrination into mathematical concepts is the infinite.
We need time and numbers to differentiate one thing from the next when in reality it is all infinite and whole.
There never was a beginning, and there never will be an end, there just is.
The laws of physics, science, math, etcetera are all a joke at the most basic level because it is an attempt to seperate and compartmentalize the infinite.

what if anti-matter was -1 for example and it got multiplied by another ani-matter to create matter and that anti-matter is the beginning of "nothing" to create something which is matter. But because you are adding two or maybe even more negatives to equal one positive the matter is smaller than the antimatter thus giving us our universe and empty space.

Both you and Hitotsumami aren't creating something from nothing, you're creating something from something different (anti-matter, sub-atomic particles.) Either could be considered as the origins of the initial energy, but then where did that stuff come from, and you're back to the same issue.
Going from nothing, absolutely, positively nothing -- subatomic, God, or otherwise -- isn't something that we can work out with the currently active laws of physics. You can speculate, but I suspect that even speculation would have some minute element of substance in it.
maybe it started at -1 and made its way to 0 and then 1

Or maybe it started at zero and became 1 and -1.
Think about it.

Maybe what started at zero? Zero what? And how does "zero" become "one" and "negative one"?
TANSTAAFL. Whether at the diner or in thermodynamics, you can't get something from nothing. At least under the laws of physics of the current Universe. Even acknowledging that we don't understand even a fraction of said laws, there's no instance that one can even imagine that could do it.

I look at zero as not as "nothing" but as a state between 1 and -1. So even 0 looks like it is nothing it really is something.

Then your original post (and the thread title) are erroneous. There does not have to be a law that creates something from nothing, because you're starting with something.
