42. No, it doesn't
answer the question. It's just a more satisfactory answer for me. It is easier for me to believe that there is a God, whose existence I can't fully comprehend, that created a universe that I can comprehend, than it is for me to believe that there is no God and that there is a universe that just popped up out of nowhere and for no reason. A universe that came out of nowhere is as difficult for me to believe as the existence of a God that created a universe is difficult for you to believe. The question I always ask myself is "Why anything?" Why is there anything for me to observe? Why is there me to observe it? Couldn't the universe get along just fine without me? And if it can, what the hell am I doing here? I tried the "I'm just trying to get my kicks in before the whole shithouse goes up in flames" approach, but realized I'm just not that cool. I guess it's a certain arrogance on my part that makes me think my existence matters, but I do. I'm just not sure why.
