Speculation as to the answer to the question "why is there something rather than nothing" continues to be frustrated by those who cannot admit contingency. The answer as to why the universe is mysteriously intelligible continues to face opposition from those who fear that such speculation will lead to belief in a Creator. Moderns continue their protest that the so called advances of modernity have rendered metaphysics unintelligible to contemporary people, this despite the endurance of metaphysics and the persistent re-evaluation of modernist epistemological claims. Metaphysics continues to be misunderstood by the popular culture as an exercise in credulity and superstition. Scientific dogmatists continue with their denials that their so-called strictly empirical claims are riddled with metaphysical assumptions.

"When I was in school, I cheated on my metaphysics exam: I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me."
Woody Allen
I love that joke. Anyways, there are some metaphysical problems which are worth discussing like problem of free will, problem of evil in theology, and mind-body problem.
To Timaeus,
"why is there something rather than nothing" seems like a pseudoquestion to me. I would like to see why it is valid to ask such thing.
Why is it that teleological reasoning should apply to everything?
Is it valid for me to ask a question like "why does this grain of sand I see exist, when it didn't have to? Does it have some sort of cosmological purpose?"
