Obviously most theists believe that some sort of God created existence. The cause behind our existence is the most common question that religion tries to answer. I think a more important question however is why anything, including God, exists at all. Even if God is eternal, why does he even exist in the first place. I would like to take the question of why we exist to the next level and ask why anything exists at all. Because when you think about it, God may be necessary for our existence, and the existence of God may be necessary for something to exist, but in the grand scheme of things, both God and existence is unnecessary. Any opinions???

Ok many of you need to reread my question because most of your answers have nothing do do with my question. I know God is necessary for our existence. Thats not what I'm asking.

Well...you have an ant farm right? You decide to get rid of the ants that are causing problems. Now, is it necessary for the ants to know that You exist? Not really.

God do exist!! In many forms, humans in all centuries worshipped gods, you name it, from the sun and the moon to rocks and every thing they could not understand, humans by nature need a god to lay on, need some big force that control things and explain in an easy way the existence of many mysterious things in life and universe.
If god exists, ho created god, do he exist in the universe or the universe exists in him?? Before the creation of the universe witch he did, where hi existed??
And why he created us?
With all the wars that happen around the world in these days and in the name of god and religion, (religion was always a cause of wars) I don't find god.
People talk about the end the hell the paradise, why god wants us to have this life on earth? To separate good from bad? I think he already knows.
After this life we will go to hell or haven, those in hell, they will be there for eternity?
The Christian says that god sent his son for our salvation, then why did he send the prophet Mohammed later? Some one sent his son (by Christians this means him self) it means hi did the ultimate thing, why would he sent a prophet after that?
Why doesn't god show him self to his creation and then no body will doubt his existence!! Every body will be on the same religion, no more wars and peace every ware.

Your first mistake is lumping all religion into the same category. They are definitely not all equal.
Does it occur to you there could be a plain of understanding that our arrogant human brains cannot fathom?
If God made himself absolutely evident to everyone on Earth, there would be no choice as to whether to believe or not. In fact, it would be insane to deny the existence of God. However, God has given humans the right to choose and therefore He can provide some evidence but not complete evidence or it would remove any freedom of choice in the matter. Accept Him or don't. It's up to you.

Who are you to say in the grand scheme of things that God and existence is unnecessary? God is eternal and all that does exist ,exists because he created it with the exception of himself. By the very utterance out of your mouth you acknowledge the existence and sovereignty of God... Your utterance.....the grand scheme of things. Grand because God made it grand,Scheme because it is the work of God's supreme mind that conceived the scheme, of Things because God in his sovereignty rules over all things he created. When you get to heaven or hell as you choose, you can then get the answer to why God exists. Until then you must make the correct choice. Come to Christ Cap'n Arlo

God exists in an distinctly specific and unique way: God’s life is mandatory fairly than contingent. devoid of God the variety you Born God's life isn't a question yet How He Existed In An Infinitive Time Cycle Is the substantial question

The simple answer is that nothing, philosophically speaking, is necessary at all. Since human beings already find themselves existing, they also find it necessary to know why. Why do they find it necessary to know why they exist? I have no idea.

All things exist for the ultimate purpose of glorifying God.

Oh my god this sounds like the explaining of the Matrix in Matrix 3. Why is anything, ANYTHING? I don't know. But I do think god isn't necessary, we would of evolved either way. Just look at the animal kingdom. Look at the platypus, a clear from of evolution. Also the zorse.

A god is not necessary. If you're really interested read three good ones:
The God Delusion
God Is not Great (how religion poisons everything)
Why Darwin Matters.
Find them anywhere. The first one one the NYTimes best seller list all winter. The second on it now.

The fact that the bible-thumpers were unable to read your question and answer it properly (instead, resorting to some meaningless catch-phrase), should tell you something of their collective mentality and grip on reality. Your question is wasted on them.
Just throw them some candy and that'll keep them quiet for awhile
