It seems I'm getting popular, if I'm already being quoted.
I have a very thought-out explanation for why the universe exists... It doesn't even begin to cover *how* it exists, though.
The one thing that I know for certain is that I am conscious. From that simple fact, I can infer the reason why everything has happened to me. It still doesn't explain how it happened.
As far as a creation event, well, I have a hard time with it on both sides of the debate... Humans were made in "God's" image, and humans evolve... We are male and female, some born as both... Just as we have cells that make up our whole, Divinity has egos... Neither the chicken nor the egg came first: they evolved together.
Maybe my thoughts are too controversial. I blame it on thinking of singularities too long, both the big-bang and black holes.
One thing that I do know, is that the infinite is found as much in the small as it is in the large.
