'Why are we here?' thats the million dollar question on the minds of both philosophers and scientists. However this is a very vague question indeed. We would all love to know how the universe began but why, in that case, would the universe even need to begin and how, when and where. I'd like to (try to) shed a little logic on this topic.
We exist, there's no debate about that, (well there is but one step at a time) but there is no contest to the fact that there is an existence in some form no matter how subjective or relativistic some may suggest. This existence has no beginning or end so try not to view the following theory from a linear and time related perspective. However modern logic and aristotle would argue that nothing can exist without some form of causatory factor.
Everything that ever is, ever was and ever shall be will have a causing factor. There is nothing that will never have a cause, something that began it. Even accidents have a causal factor or even more than one, for example; someone who is accidentally injured when struck in the face while playing cricket would still have to be caused by either the distraction of the batsman, the recklessness of the injurer or a mix of both or more. Therefore life, the universe and everything must have a supreme causing factor.
This would imply that there is a realm outside of existence or a realm of non existence. This is an impossibility as this would mean that existence comes from nothing. You cannot get something from nothing and something couldnt exist if there was nothing to make it or make up its form. Thus we come to the conclusion that existence must be eternally present. This is not to say that it is without cause, just that its cause is not a single event but a self replicating one.
So we come to something ive called 'The Prime Paradox' in which the reason for existence is that we cannot have non existence. It is an eternal something in which the universes and realities are made.
