"Why is there something rather than nothing"?
Well, why is there some god rather than no god? He would be the ultimate "something". I mean if you notice balance and order in the universe and think "designed", then god, who is supposedly SUPREMELY balanced and SUPREMELY orderly, should make you think "SUPREMELY designed", by creationist logic. I don't think the god concept solves any problem that any theist thinks it does.
