Why was the world created?

There seems to be many theories and explanations about "how" the world came into existence. Most religions would say that a supernatural being just made the world and the methods that were used couldn’t be understood. The scientists on the other hand, have come up with a very sophisticated explanation of how this world has evolved from nothing. Although I understand that there is enough debate on which path is true, I want to ask the question of why the world exists. According to religions, why did the supernatural create a world? According to the scientific community, why did the nothing turn into something? My oppinion is that a "nothing" does not have a choice in the matter. Being nothing, it does not have any capabilities and it will do only nothing. Therefore I dont think there is any answer to the question according to the scientists other than the nature of nothing is to become something. Although most religions do not offer a good answer to this question, I don't think it is logical for the scientists to dismiss this question. If no why can be thought of than the scientific theories are not complete, and the religions that answer this question will be more credible than science.

Hi Open Mind,You have some long 'paragraphs' and repeated sentences here. This definitely can't fly without some cleaning up. If I look between the repeats, my guess is that it is a bit broad.Get back to me when you are finished. Edited by Adminastasia, : No reason given.

I dont know how that repeat happened but I fixed it. I also narrowed the topic to a question on how credible the scientific theories can be if they dont give an explanation of why the world exists.
