Something coming from nothing, then that something exploding into an infinite amount of other somethings, and then out of all those ridiculous amount of somethings some of them form into massive objects that light up the universe, and then more random somethings come together to form smaller objects, and then out of that something, something somehow forms a breathable atmosphere, and then on that object that came from something that came from nothing came random organisms, and then those random organisms decide to evolve into other random things for no random purpose, and then eventually apes come into being and then they randomly evolve into humans. It doesn't make any sense that anything exists at all. |
That's because the time scales, and the very particular type of science involved (Quantum Mechanics and Astrophysics) are not something that humans have ever really needed to understand. We do not observe things on the micro or macro level, so to us, it's nuckin futs. It really does come across that way. However, for those who've pondered and researched these things, we are beginning to understand a great deal about the whys. So, if you are actually interested in seeing where we're at with regards to these things, as far as a human explanation for why everything is, here's the audiobook of Lawrence Krauss' (Theoretical Physicist and Cosmologist) A Universe from Nothing, obviously it's quite long, but it's a great book and I highly recommend it:
