Why is there something instead of nothing?
>>417664
It is in the nature of "something" to exist.
"Something" not existing is a logical contradiction.
Because we are here to ask thus. If the conditions were not right for things to exist, we would not. If the conditions are right -and they are- we do, and so we ask.

In another universe there is nothing instead of something, except the don't have Laotian salamander husbandry imageboards to post these questions to.

Those beings who exist in nothingness might wonder why there is nothing instead of anything.

Saying you know better than anyone else on the planet why there is something instead of nothing isn't gibberish?
Because of the big bang you idiots.

>scifags actually think is an answer
it's like asking how/why I am me and have some fedora smugly pipe up, "because your dad came in your mom you idiot :^)"

So what caused the big bang?
