I don't think anybody has the answer to that. The mind keeps going back to who created the world, and who created the universe, and what was before that, and who created what was before it, and before it, till we are either left with nothing and chance and chaos, or an unexplained, incomprehensible, initiator we call God. For those who think its nothing and chance and chaos that we come from, then the question is settled as far as they themselves are concerned. But for those of us who think that there is this God, and everything has been created, the question arises: why? That is the answer we search for. > So far the only ontologies that don't seem to merely push the question > back a step are ones like Bruno's comp, Russell's "theory of nothing" or > Max Tegmark's mathematical universe hypothesis. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Everything List" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
