John Dobson is a great popularizer of astronomy.  While he was a 
Buddhist monk he invented the Dobsonian alt-az mounting, used in many 
amateur "point and shoot" telescopes.  

But his views on the nature of the Universe are 
somewhat "unconventional".  You can read his thoughts at

and perhaps draw your own conclusions.

It's a good line, which applies to anything fundamental.  
If you answer a long enough chain of "Why?" questions, eventually you 
have to stop at something (currently!) regarded as fundamental and 
say: "That's just how it seems to be."  So in the end, what we are 
left with as an "answer" to our original "Why?", is a very detailed 
description of /how/.
