I'll say it just comes natural to them when trying to make sense of stuff.

Our lives are based on the search for certainties. We are by our very nature seekers of knowledge and security. Questioning is a means to an end of peace.

Isn't it interesting how often questions are only asked because the asker knows, or envisions the answer?
Questions that demand inferential reasoning, much less hypothesis-formation or the creative transfer of information to new situations, simply do not occur with any frequency.
There are many classrooms in which teachers rarely pose questions above the "read-it-and-repeat-it" level.
Try to seek the wisdom of our Creator. Only He knows the hidden mysteries of life and life eternal.
In judging answers, are the answers based on truth, and do the points raised really add up to a conclusion?
A lawyer commonly says "the evidece in insufficient". That does not disrespect the witnesses, but does the bits of evidence really add up to a real PROOF???
Listen to a sales pitch, and ask yourself the question "So what?" Is this sufficient reason to buy???

Good question!
Man is endowed with an inquisitive mind. It is inherent to us since childhood. Indeed a few months after delvery, a baby starts to wonder and starts to questions so mnay things. They undergo the why stage or the world of why's. Our mind, in so far as it understands, is an eternal mode of thinking, which is determined by another mode of thinking, and this one again by another, and so on to infinity, so they all constitute at the time the eternal and infinite intellectual of God.
He whose mind is fixed upon true being has no time to look down upon the little affairs of men, or to be filled with jealousy andenmity in the struggle against them. His eye is ever directed to wards fixed and immutable principles, which he sees neither injuring nor injured by one another, but all in order moving according to reason. This is the man's core of nature.
Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

You cannot "reason" with all of the questions. Some questions are not asked in a manner that accepts reasonable answers. Some are asked only to provoke. Some are asked to make a point, not to ask for a real answer.
I only answer those that can be "reasoned" with and I leave the rest to those who like to argue the unarguable.

Beyond the questions and answers! Be STILL and Know I AM God. The human mind is in a constant attempt to "explain" the unexplainable.
