The Ultimate Question - Why is there something rather than nothing?

I can't think of anything smart to say or add. The only thing that comes to mind is purpose. Every- t-h-i-n-g has a purpose. With nothing, there's no purpose. With something, there's purpose.If no-thing is some-thing then what purpose does the no-thing serve? Can no-thing serve a purpose? If it can then there must be some-thing to be purposed.So, to add my 2 cents, *purpose* is my "answer" to your question, or atleast what comes to mind for now.If it even makes sense.

Well, purpose and intent are close in definition :Dictionary.com From Wiki: IMHO purpose seems to make the most sense to me. It's obviously unanswerable.When you look in your toilet and see it empty with nothing in it
does that mean just because it's empty the toilet has no purpose? What's the definition of nothing? We use the word ALL the time. Why is there an empty toilet instead of something in it? We would say "nothing" is in it. Why is there "nothing" rather than something- because purpose isn't involved. When purpose gets involved you have crap in your toilet.My point about the toilet is that "nothing" can be described in a lot of ways.In order to have something,purpose is required. Without purpose, you have "nothing".So, There is something rather than nothing because of purpose. Without purpose what is there? NOTHING.Before you have something you need nothing. For there to be something from nothing there has to be purpose or there would always be nothing.Edited by Chuck77, : No reason given.Edited by Chuck77, : No reason given.

Why? So then you think something always existed? And there was never nothing?Why? Are you a JACK of all trades and master of nothing? Edited by Chuck77, : No reason given.Edited by Chuck77, : No reason given.

I have no idea Im just doing my best to sound smart like everyone else here who has no fracking idea how to answer the question Other than that, I think "purpose" is a good option. Edited by Chuck77, : No reason given.

Oh thy great and wise straggles. What is thy take on said nothingness oh ye great one? What shall you dispence on our anxious ears as to why thine is something rather thine nothing oh wise and great leader of nothingness...PURPOSE, is not MATTER, STRAGGLER. Maybe you should ask DrA if he meant something (material) or something( immaterial).

Holy easy batman. Mr Jack, your quite the risk taker. How bout YOU make an assetion and STOP ragging on everyone ELSES assertion to an impossible question.Try not to criticize everyones idea of an answer with " I made no assertion, im just challenging yours" Great. You know, I havn't really wrote a thesis on nothingness you know?I like women, ask me why I like tall blondes and I have no problem answering your challenge I think were all here to give the best answers we got to the impossible question without trying to answer every single persons objection who never bothered to answer it in the first place.

Have you ever asked God? How do you know he's dodgy? You listen to too much george carlin frako.frako, why is there something rather than nothing? Any thoughts or just feel like ripping Joseph?
