I'm new to reading this group, but noticed it when something was cross
posted to talk.politics.misc and got the robot first response
describing the group.

The subject head is the one question I think about whenever I want to
give myself a puzzle I can't solve. Why is there something and not
nothing? How is it that a world of any sort exists? I do not follow
any religious tradition, but am fascinated by looking and comparing
the religious/spiritual traditions and mythologies out there. Could
they at least contain a clue about the 'why' question -- maybe
something about spirit as creative force? I've also been trying to
learn as much as I can about particle physics and modern physics
(without having to do the math), and just finished Brian Greene's book
"The Fabric of the Cosmos," and find the more I learn about that, the
more bizarre it all seems. So, since this group seems focused on
questions like this, I thought I'd throw it out.

I am just like you(?) just an innocent bystander, but my humble opinion is
that nobody knows. Nor do I think we ever will know. It is just one of those
things we have to accept: There is something. An awesome mystery. Bt it
doens't worry me that I (and we?) don't know, I am happy there is something.
Although I wish the world would be a better place, with us humans able to
make a better world for all of us instead of the almighty $$ being the
ultimate meaning of life. And life these days means corporate life, the rest
of us are just a necessary evil, to make corporations profitable.

Enjoy life while you can, don't take any chances that you'll get another
try.
