Why does the universe exist at all?

Thank you, reds4ever! I know I stood against some stiff competition.

I don't know. I'm pretty sure i read a post about it "not being the heat so much as the humidity" somewhere...

What's wrong with that?

God doesn't need a creator.

Don't think about it. It'll come to you eventually.

Heat and humidity are separate things which can affect the real-feel of the air outside. You can withstand a dry 30c better than you can a humid 30c.

I think we may have another contender...

Well you guys aren't much help. The problem with the God created it theory is, as Park Avenue said, who created God? And if God was always here, why couldn't the universe be as well?

So I get the argument that the universe was always here. I just don't understand why. Wouldn't it be more logical that nothing exists? Other than we couldn't be having this discussion?

Cause and effect are internal to the universe. "Why" is a request for cause given an effect. In this context, it is not a valid question and does not have a valid answer.

Asking it is like asking "What is two divided by zero?" You are trying to apply an inappropriate metaphor and it does not fit. You can't divide by zero and the universe does not have a cause.

Ok, I get it. But why is it here?

No, no, no. That's just fancy talk for "you're not allowed to ask the question."

Everything has a beginning. Nothing can just always be here. The universe began because it will one day end.

Two divided by zero is infinity; it's zero divided by zero that's undefined. IIRC.
