The universe from nothing model, is one of many possible beginning models. Though not the only one other models include a bounce from a previous collapsed universe. Universes from black holes etc. The universe from nothing model is one of the few that doesn't involve a previous universe. The idea has merit, but then so do the others.

I read Krauss' book, and the most important point I think that he is making to a general audience is that one does not need to invoke a deity to explain how the universe came into existence. One could even assert that, given an infinite amount of time, it's inevitable that it will happen.
