Deep!

Hmm...How about this? At first there was nothingness. And when nothingness gets really crowded and hot, it explodes into somethingness. And thus, the universe is born. And scientists haven't been able to recreate it since they can't make enough nothingness.

But isn't why really a meaningless question? If there is nothing conciously causing something, then there IS no "why" to it, it just is. "Why" is a concept invented by people, isn't it?

Such an intriguing question Mr. Bond...Mr. James Bond. You also elude to the ultimate question that has been debated by science and religion for as long as we can remember. Is there a God? Some people say that the religious man has a blind faith and that the scientific mind believes in what he can see or measure. The religious mind believes that an all powerful God created the universe while the scientific mind believes the universe created itself from a single infinite point...a singularity as they call it. Well lets take a second to measure something shall we. Look at a maple leaf seed...yeah I'm Canadian so this is my example...see how it is designed; how it uses the laws of aerodynamics, the law of gravity, Centriphical forces, and tell me did this just happen by accident, or was there a purpose given to it in it's design. Did a tree drop a seed sextillion's of times and suddenly it grew a wing? Or...did a mind of incalculable wisdom devise, plan, design, and create it? This is just one small example of billions that could be sited. I think when you look at HOW the things in the universe work you might discover the WHY. And the Why can only be answered by HE who created it. In the depth of this I would like to ask who has blind faith? One who believes this universe started from a single point of infinitely dense matter? A point so small in comparison to the vast expanse of the universe that it is indescribable and unfathomable to the human mind? What kind of faith does that require? One who believes that the machinery of the universe just happened by accident, that things so complex, and technically sound, made themselves...again, by accident? What kind of faith does that require? Or does the one who has faith in God, a designer, an artist, a director, and a personage of authority have more faith? Or a better faith?

In conclusion the answer of god is the remarkably pretty much the same as science in regards to the universe. That is in respects to the WHY. you see...God created such a vast universe to give it to us, (what did you think...we were just supposed to die, go to heaven and roll around on a cloud all day strumming a harp?) just as science and technology promises too. The thing is who can deliver...God, or science. Who are the false prophets anyway? I think the answer is obvious. Even if science could move us at the speed of light the universe would be...well still out of reach. But God promises to move us through it at the speed of thought. Surely the only way mankind will inherit the universe is through God. And that would be the answer to why it exists.

"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse"
(Romans1:20)
