What is the most profound, eternally consequential question that has puzzled the greatest minds and philosophers throughout human history? What existential mystery remains despite our exponential scientific progress? The biggest unsolved mystery of all is the fundamental question of why we exist at all. Think about it. All our intellectual energies are devoted to unraveling the riddles of this physical universe – investigating its origins, its makings, its laws and properties. But we rarely stop to ponder the much bigger existential mystery staring us in the face: Why is there a universe in the first place? What existential necessity or driving force initiated this unfathomably vast cosmos full of galaxies, energy, space, and time from mere nothingness? How and why did everything come into being rather than just never existing at all?
Science can describe amazingly well what the universe is comprised of and how its mechanics operate. But it cannot answer why the universe itself exists to study in the first place. That is a puzzle that transcends the scientific domain into the realm of pure philosophy and spirituality. Even our most accomplished astrophysicists and cosmologists admit bewilderment at this most profound question. The physical laws and evidence merely trace back to a cosmic starting point of extreme density, but not the metaphysical first cause or mover behind it all. The only way to find a logically coherent answer to this supreme enigma is through the practice of deep thinking and spiritual contemplation. For the signs are everywhere that our existence is not a mere fluke, but a phenomenon meticulously brought into being by a supreme being who transcends space and time. As you look around at the extraordinary complexities of this world, does it make any rational sense that it all spontaneously erupted into perfect order from absolute nothingness by chance? Doesn’t the very existence of this mind-boggling universal design have signatures of a power behind it? Humble our intellect, open our heart, and engage in deep reflection to solve the biggest mystery of all – our very existence itself. The evidence is all around us if we only care to deeply ponder it.
