Why does something exist instead of nothing?

Question

and if your answer is god, then why does god exist instead of nothing?

-dont tell me this should be in philosophy, its fine where it is
-dont tell me about how youve heard this one before, i dont care

redrum, your mommy is calling you, your ba-ba is warm

it should be noted that there IS something, if we do not exist, then how am i looking at my computer monitor right now? if IT dosnt exist, then why can i see it? is >>something<< projecting our perception like the matrix? the fact is, something has to exist somewhere in order for us to experience thought to begin with.

Answer 1

no one knows

Answer 2

the theory of no longer some thing can't also be expressed in a lot of languages. that is a arbitrarily built idea and somewhat stupid in case you imagine about. A 'ingredient' through definition is an merchandise, a idea, an theory, etc. that is wide-spread in English to easily negate a idea with a prefix. We attempt this with the basis note 'ingredient' to which we've 'some thing' and 'no longer some thing'. Many English and German philosophiers have puzzled over a idea which isn't some thing better than a linguistic oddity. for instance, the alternative of warm isn't unhot, yet chilly. the alternative of a ingredient although, is someway a no longer some thing. The inverse proposition or premise of evening isn't unnight, disnight, nonnight, etc. that is day. If we had to communicate day and unday, lets obviously locate that "day" has a meaning and that "unday" develop into in common terms used to outline the opposing state or idea. What do delusions of gods ought to do with no longer some thing or some thing?

Answer 3

You cannot have something without nothing, both are necessary like life and death or positive and negative. To see one it requires the other, so they both exist in terms of the other in a sort of conspiracy where everything is on and off just at a tremendous rate that you don't notice. God (The Universe) is playing this game of hide and seek which switches on for billions of years then it too disappears, the stars burn out, and because you cannot have nothing it all begins again. But in terms of the Universe billions of years isn't very long compared to an eternity, so its all going on/off, something/nothing

Answer 4

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned this is *the* question.

I am of the opinion that we are confined to our universe and physically constrained from seeing beyond it; but that somewhere out there, though n valences of universii, there is a field of existence which is self-satisfying. I hope that's not vauge -- it's the best way I can explain my opinion on this question.

Answer 5

nothing exist the is a lot of space out there billions of light years but the is no fairy tale god out there

Answer 6

maybe this really is nothing - if this is all there is, then what do we have to compare it with; more to the point, how do we define it since most things are defined in terms of something else

Answer 7

According to Buddhist thought, this IS nothing. All is illusion.

Answer 8

I haven't the slightest idea. I can only tell that it does. I also don't see that there needs to be a reason,

Answer 9

It doesn't. Nothing becomes something because we percieve it that way. Nothing is real, so therefore nothing is not real, either.

Answer 10

b/c people need something...if people think nothing is there then they might see life as pointless if there is nothing to look foward to after you die and it is nice to have someone to blame when your life sucks
