Why does the cosmos exist at all?

[BADecker]

The obvious question to you then is: why does God exist?

To make and love us... for His own enjoyment and glory, and for ours.

Dig deeper.  I did not ask what the 'God idea' gives you.

Why does cosmos (not just our universe) exist? Or does it?

If our universe is all there is, and it goes through endless cycles of Big Bangs and Big Crunches, why does it exist at all?

[ATMD]

We could always ask questions for whatever happens. If nothing exists, the question would be, "how come nothing ever exists?" Of course, there would be no one to ask that question, but philosophically speaking, the question would be a mystery.

Is it more probable for nothing to exist at all than it is for at least something to exist?

I simply answered your question. Why does God exist? To make and love us. The cosmos is all part of that love.

BB and BC is something that nobody knows ever happened anywhere except in the lab.

Thanks for your in-depth answer.  I was afraid this thread will derail into this sort of delusional mumbo jumbo.

What sort of intelligence would want to create insignificant primates to love him/her, over the course of billions of years, creating spacetime spanning billions of light years apart? Insecure, low IQ humans perhaps?

More likely than not, our universe was created by a natural process, however the reasons of the infinite series of predicates to this event remain a mystery.  

If the multiverse theory is correct, our universe is a tiny bubble in the infinite large cosmos with infinite number of universes, each one with different physical laws.  Why does the cosmos exist?  It could be that there is an infinite number of cosmoses, etc., which in turn we can call cosmos1, then you can have an infinite number of cosmoses1, which in turn becomes cosmos2 etc. CosmosN is in the sea of cosmosesN that we can call Cosmos', etc.

Do you get the picture?  I am thinking that there is no answer because it is infinite any way you look at it.

Here is a good vid about infinities:

I am saying the human mind questions everything

And the stuff that it can't think about, it lumps together in a big fat lump. Then it questions the lump. But it still doesn't understand the answer that the lump gives.

I had the same question before. I do always wonder what's above us, those things circling, spinning and moving above our heads, what made them? I never asked who, but what. This question I always ask to some of my drinking buddies back then. I ask them when they got drunk, just to be a little bit serious.

But last year was the last time that I asked about it, the answer came from an old man who's my neighbor, and I'm satisfied with his answer. He's an archeologist, retired university professor and a psychologist.

I asked him, what made the entire universe? His answer was:

"If you find an idle and empty land, what will you do to it? There is no way you can sell it because everybody owns it."

What's the connection of your answer with my question, I asked.

"The empty space is already there before the first sentient being became conscious with its surrounding, it might have question its existence, just like us, and it filled the empty space around us."

I do find his theory related to the creation myth of Buddhism, but his answer gave me the satisfaction.

^^^ There is a socialistic nature to all of us. But there is a private and personal one, as well.

God: "Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the Matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control, which has led you, inexorably, here."

Me: "Well, I guess I'll just stay here then, Womp Womp!"

[BestSSS]

On this question There is no answer as and on many other! The theme of the creation of the world, the Universe, planets, stars remained, remains and will remain a mystery.
Whatever minds put forward the theory of the creation of the world-it's just a theory and how it was actually unknown to anyone.
Space is just a Void.. The emptiness is endless - it does not fit in my head... The dimensions of this void are Endless... Just endless, you can not fly and fly to some wall - and what next? again infinity... Space is a Mystery and it is the most interesting question for everyone.

[BADecker]

^^^ How do you know space is a void. Aether theory says that it is a flowing, elastic solid. The ripples and eddies within the aether solid are the things that become our electrons, protons, neutrons, photons, etc.

[MisO69]

Everything exists because the opposite is not existing or nothing. Which is completely alien and unknown to us things that do exist. For instance, life struggles to survive because death is the end of consciousness, or the nothing. Reality is probably the same way, things exist because not existing just sucks. Who or what would want nothing over something? So there you have it.

[Pagoda.to]

This is a pretty deep question to ask lol my guess is to give us perspective on what life really is and what it could be.

[ATMD]

If given a choice between a suffering existence and nothing, I would choose nothing.

Eternal life in hell for example would definitely not be preferred over nothingness.

[nutildah]

The question of why do the cosmos exist could be expanded to "why does anything exist at all?" I think we take for granted that it just does and reality does not need an explanation in order to keep doing its thing.

For instance, life struggles to survive because death is the end of consciousness, or the nothing.

Really life struggles to survive only because that's a primary feature of evolution, and a product of that is the fear of death. If things weren't afraid to die, their genes would be removed from the gene pool pretty quick.

^^^ This is where religion steps in. Science isn't close to answering things like these.

Religion does a worse job of explaining things than science.

If religion is the answer, _which_ religion is it? There's hundreds or even thousands of incompatible religions out there. To believe that your religion is the correct one and all the others are wrong is sheer arrogance. It's more likely that they are all wrong.

Much of science theory is a made up story, just like religion often seems. Science fact doesn't explain much of anything.
