I will point out something I noticed with what Storey posted. His comment points out that we have no understanding of the “why” of the universe. What he fails to grasp, however, is that this isn’t necessarily a coherent question. There may not be a “why” question to answer: he has presupposed that the question is valid but has provided no evidence to support such a premise.

He’s then makes the leap that if we don’t attempt to answer this question, we’re just deluded. I would point out that, attempting to answer a question that may or may not be answerable and then having to answer further presupposed questions for which there is no evidence either is a greater scource of delusion.
