Why is there something rather than nothing?

For people or science to think that we as humans know EVERYTHING about life, death and human consciousness would be arrogant and closed minded. Plus, to believe in something beyond the physical reality is not childish but, spiritual. It has NOTHING to do with age or maturity but with an openenss for knowledge of the unknown and the unexplained. That's what great thinkers do. They explore ALL avenues to reach an answer with a cynical but yet, open, unbiased mind for answers using critical thinking and deductive reasoning. Nothing can be discounted if exploration, critical thinking and research is done with an OPEN mind.

It's a matter of seeing the forest through the trees and looking at things beneath the surface and beyond the physical. But, how can knowledge be achieved if only the surface is examined but fail to acknowledge the possible existence and explore what is beyond or beneath it? The greater the knowledge gained, the more truly intelligent but the less knowledge gained that is overshadowed with egotism, willful arrogance and stubborness leads to a more false sense of knowledge and intelligence. True knowledge gained is looking beyond what is obvious and acknowledging we as humans, don't know everything through a sense of humility and our fallibility nature. It takes REAL intellect by a human being with a REAL quest for knowledge with the aptitude and an willingness to see beneath the surface for the full potential of knowledge growth.

Energy is an aspect of God; God Is eternal. Creation is geometrized stepping down of Energy, toward goals such as Soul-individuation.

That's the way things turned out. Before there was something, we don't know what there was, because there was nobody around to look.

Because the Singularity occurred and the Higgs field gave subatomic particles mass. Everything follows from that.

Hello heartbroken, actually nothingness is only a relative concept. It is relative to the observer who is ever present. The only one thing is to realize your own self as you are the very observer. So something something always!

There's both.

Because nothingness is simply an imaginary concept which can not exist in reality..... even where there is vacuum, what exists is space and not nothingness.

Because there's no such thing as nothing.
