Dogs are lucky in that they don't have the capacity to care why they exist.

The only solution I have come about is just that, as we go about in a dream accepting logic that does not make any sense, we are blocked by some sort of mechanism now, that our logical structures are not built to answer this question, and maybe if the afterlife exists we will understand it later it will all make sense, and will be simple to us.

If we willed, we could say [something] like this. This is not but legends of the former peoples." @ And [remember] when they said, "O Allah, if this should be the truth from You, then rain down upon us stones from the sky or bring us a painful punishment.") 3- ( Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate [ life ] and leave behind them a grave Day.) 4- And they say, "There is not but our worldly life; we die and live, and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming. 5- (We had certainly brought you the truth, but most of you, to the truth, were averse.) If you reached here and you didn’t believe that’s for you, god said: ( Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allah has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after Allah? Then will you not be reminded? ) God may guide you that’s Quran....

Yes, this question has haunted me a lot. Why something instead of nothing? And after extensively thinking about it, I realised it's a futile cause. Yes, we are humans and our brain is constantly thinking. But not always all thoughts are fruitful. We know very little about consciousness, we don't even know what we are trying to find. So asking why and how is just a search of needle in a haystack. And moreover the needle might not be even there. People have thought their entire lives and got no answer. If we take scientific and atheist view we do not have a plausible explanation. I beg to differ from the speaker in here. Buddhism doesn't advocate that nothingness is world. It is rather that it says the world is an illusion, a maya, root of all our suffering. To ease the suffering, Buddhism asks us to go beyond the worldly afflictions. But one who is living can very well choose to live in Maya. Eternal peace or Nirvana is a joyful feeling that if discovered is even better than life. Not death. Peaceful existence. Now coming to the ontological argument. The speaker said it is a bad argument but I beg to differ. Why? Ontological argument says that the supreme being exists because one of us has to be supreme. I mean why not? If there are all pencils, one will be bigger than others, even if it's all same, patterns do break. Okay maybe not the best arguments. The cosmological argument comes into picture. If something happens it always has a cause. Meaningless life is not what we live. It's cause and effect. If there is a watch there is a watchmaker, and if questions arise who made the watchmaker? Well nothingness would have been better? Then we would not have had this conversation in the first place. In Hinduism it is said actually we all are one not different. One soul. One being. One universe. Then it broke (scientifically big bang) and other atoms and participles were created. God is never bored or has questions where he came from. Because primeval energy or universe always existed. We are conscious of reality is the proof in itself. The universe is aware that it exists. And hence it does not question why and how because existence in itself is beautiful. If you say why god broke into so many participles, because he wanted to play. All of it is a game. He is aware also unaware. He is concerned also unconcerned. So yes we exist because he exists, he exists because nothingness is not the truth. Supreme reality is meant to exist. And non existence is a lie. When we die we return as matter of energy. After all we are bundles of energy and we return back to the universe where we came from who knows the greater scheme of things? God doesn't have be even called god or doesn't even have to be human form it's an infinite source of energy which could create anything and everything out of nothing. Even himself. Because he willed so. And when you yourself are the universe manifestation is very much possible. And this beautiful world is not mediocre. It's elegant. Every creation has its scars. Death, decay, imperfection, struggle, pain all of it is a part which makes life up. Reality is a very small box and we are confined to it. The supreme reality is far hidden from our eyes. But whatever we can see, hear, sense, feel, think is enough. Because I do agree with the speaker on some points- even if there was nothing we wouldn't have been satisfied, we exist that's all that matters not why not how, we have actually won the cosmic lottery and we get to think live and perceive the world because we have won. Yes everything exists in our mind in our consciousness it's nothing but a trickery, actual simple truth is hidden in plain sight. Yes I am a believer so I gave my point of view. Felt like sharing also to calm my intrusive thoughts. If it helps anyone great. If you stick to atheist or science it's fine. But it is undeniable that science explains little, and it couldn't prove the non existence of God either, there is no harm in believing if the thoughts comfort you. I know how troublesome these thoughts can get. So reining our mind not letting it run wild is the main motto. And my explanations I hope is not just religion but also scientific. The question is futile but our existence is not. We should focus on living. Nihilism and other factors are always going to be there. Whenever we feel what is the point of it all we can remind us how miraculous it is to exist and how lucky we are to win this genetic lottery

Some foolish men declare that Creator made the world. The doctrine that the world was created is ill-advised, and should be rejected. If god created the world, where was he before creation? If you say he was transcendent then, and needed no support, where is he now? No single being had the skill to make the world - for how can an immaterial god create that which is material? How could god have made the world without any raw material? If you say he made this first, and then the world, you are face with an endless regression. If you declare that the raw material arose naturally you fall into another fallacy, for the whole universe might thus have been its own creator, and have risen equally naturally. If god created the world by an act of will, without any raw material, then it is just his will and nothing else and who will believe this silly stuff? If he is ever perfect, and complete, how could the will to create have arisen in him? If, on the other hand, he is not perfect, he could no more create the universe than a potter could. If he is formless, actionless, and all-embracing, how could he have created the world? Such a soul, devoid of all modality, would have no desire to create anything. If you say that he created to no purpose, because it was his nature to do so then god is pointless. If he created in some kind of sport, it was the sport of a foolish child, leading to trouble. If he created out of love for living things and need of them he made the world; why did he not make creation wholly blissful, free from misfortune? Thus the doctrine that the world was created by god makes no sense at all.

Language has its limits and cannot understand this existence. Imagine if suddenly we had the answer, what will we do about it? It doesn't change anything, we'd still be humans and we'd still be mortals! We feel that we are alive, why question it? Feeling our existence should be our only truth, existential questions should be put aside, and we should just live, like we always did and always will till the end of the human race... to stop questionning our existence would probably reduce the pain of existence, no more god, no more ideals, just a plain truth, this present moment...

Because you can say 'what created it' until the cows come home. But what are cows? And what is home? Most of the things we can see have a beginning, before which they do not exist. Why should the universe be any different? And what is the universe if not 'all that exists'? And before 'all that exists' exists, what can exist besides nothing? So how did nothingness create the first thing? And do things really 'exist' anyways, if they are 99.99~9% empty space and 0.00~1% energy? What even is energy, besides a wavelength, vacillating between +1 and -1?

(Think of the difference between a lab and a library.) Science is not knowledge, or a set of knowledge, or a collection of what is known. Science is something you do. It's a process of observation, prediction, testing, collecting data, critically evaluating it, and by doing so, generating new, robust, and shareable knowledge. Scientists are obsessed with what we don't know because science is nothing but a systematic method of learning those things we don't know, at least to a significant likelihood. Science needs the unknown - problems & questions - or it has no function.

Think about how humans discovered the big bang. If human civilization had come about 10+ billion years in the future, the cosmic background radiation not only wouldn't be detectable(makes you happy to live in a time and civilization where we can at least learn THAT much), but the exponential expansion of the universe would have made it impossible to even see other stars and galaxies. That civilization might grow up thinking they had the only star in existence, oblivious to all of the wonders of our current universe or it's origins.

"Nothing" might be a concept made up by the human mind.

@@ericscaillet2232 Interesting idea. But I'll ask whether observations, copies and transformations are "created."

Overland, I agree, spot on!

What remains when we strip all possible forms of identifiableness from an object? Is existence a little less existing when that object doesn't exist any longer? Is existence itself only present in identifiable forms? Could being in it's purest form be formless?

This is exactly the kind of thing I enjoy. I loved this video.

And yet I haven't heard any explanation of the mystery of existence. Why is there something rather than nothing? No one can answer.

I love these sorts of talks, we’ve grown so accustomed to people just saying facts instead of leaving us with more questions. And given the choice, I prefer the latter almost every time.

If I am going to watch a content that consists of simply.... a guy talking for 15 minutes straight and by the time his speech/video comes to end..... I would then prefer my knowledge being improved and feel that ever slightly more educated in the subject matter! Of which, I spent the last 15 minutes (out of my 10 waking hours ) processing and make a decision on what to do with the particular information! But, to come away with increased knowledge of the subject matter that was being presented, it goes without saying that, the newly attained information will raise the need for additional intel... This is a natural phenomena that occurs in the human mind. For example, you see an ad on tv of a supermarket promoting it's "Special Discount Week" campaign... Subconciously, in your head you'll say to yourself: " what's on offer" " How much can I save" "Do i have any money to spend" etc etc. The point is any information we view, our minds will always respond with questions!

@@lynnfisher3037 ====== Universe is a first cause event. Something had to start the universe. E=mc2 is testament to that. Since energy and mass are the same thing and interchangeable. Where did the energy for our universe come from, that latter became mass ergo here we are. Even the laws for physics and chemistry came from the big bang, a first cause event. Even the fine tuning of the universe, with its existing and specific sets of individual laws and equations of physics and chemistry, that is right now giving us our current universe with 18 different parameters for each sets of different strengths and weaknesses in particles, like how strong or how weak gravity is, if changed to a millionth of one percent in strength of weaknesses, we wouldn't be here. This is just one of the fine turned laws out of eighteen in our universe that is needed for out EXISTENCE. This is by DESIGN.

Surely there’s a scientific “why”? If I ask why the earth exists, the answer is that gravity brought together space dust and rocks and it eventually left a planet. If I ask why do humans exist, the answer evolution over millions of years.

@John connor No, it's not the end of story. It's just you who stop asking questions when the word God comes up, because you think that it's a sin to doubt Him. And in a way you are right since science and religion can't co-exist. But there's no doubt wich one of the two things that fear the other. Science has never burned anyone for questioning a ready made answer, but religion has and it does.

"Grant me one miracle and I can explain the entirety of the universe." Science needs at least one miracle.

The most honest answer anyone can give is I don’t know it’s good to have an open mind to have our beliefs and theories but the fact is nobody really knows.

Size is irrelevant due to infinity. We are infinitely small and large all at once. If you look at time a second is infinite. Which would make us infinitely in this moment.

I don't understand why anything should exist, but I can't fathom nothing existing either.

Time is the mystery. If there is no time then there is no universe, so how time started is really the only questions, and when we know how time started we will know why there is a universe.
