h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Actually, the answer the question "why does the world exist" may very well be "because God made it" - that just raises a new question, "Why does God [if He/She/It/They exist] exist in the first place?"

Exactly, K.E.

Heidegger's question isn't just 'why does the universe exist' but why does anything at all exist - this would include God (if He exists).

Hi everyone,

Long time listener, first time caller.

Perhaps THINKING, that is HUMAN THINKING has played a huge part in bringing about what we "believe" to be existance in the first place. And not just in the sence that if you observe you interfere; I mean in a much larger and permanent sense.

Here's what I did,

First, separate god from existance.
Then separate god from the afterlife.
All you're left with is human thought.
Which is all we started with.
Which really hasn't changed much since the begining.

Same as it ever was.

As for answers
we don't need no stinkin' answers,
we need more questions and-- more to the point--
more people asking questions.

(actually, some answers would be nice, as well)

Or I could be talking directly out of from between my buttocks.

aaaannnndd.... scene.
Thank you.
