Open Mind
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.
Well, therein lies the rub correct? How do we recognize the answer to the question of why except through our own biases as to what we would agree with? Of course perhaps it has been missed throughout the many centuries that religion never has answered the why question either, else people would no longer be asking would they?

Re: Is That The Final Answer?
Phat
Or maybe the answer exists yet people either cannot or will not find it.
After centuries of thought by 100's of millions of people and yet there is no consensus as to what the answer is to the why of the universe. The pattern emerging does not appear to support the question as valid to begin with.

Re: Qur'an and Science

I have never seen such drivel masquerade itself and caper about as though it had some actual insight. This is without doubt the most intellectually barren attempt to fit a religious text into a dimly lit shadow of a vague guess in the sole attempt to flog an agenda of ignorance into the gullible minds of people with nearly non-existent critical skills.
Congratulations! That website was truly a rare gem of dumbing down that has not seen the light of day since the dark ages.
Not only wrong on all accounts but worse,not even wrong.
