Philosophy

Does this sentence makes sense? It's for Philosophy:

Nothing in this world comes from nothing, because of what already exists, but we don’t know where that existence came from, even though it had been.

Explaining Parminedes.

Thanks!

I cannot make your sentence fit into what Parmenides supposedly wrote: Parmenides goes on to consider in the light of this principle the consequences of saying that anything is. In the first place, it cannot have come into being. If it had, it must have arisen from nothing or from something.
