There really isn't a satisfying answer I am afraid. We are still chasing the chicken and the egg analogy. Even if you spin up alternate universes you still have to justify those universes, and how all the universes got spun up in the first place. By invoking probabilities, or multiple universes, or whatever new theory comes along you just seem to refine and push back the clock a few more inches until you have to explain the next chain in events.

For all those who want to know the truth, watch Monty Pythons 'The meaning of Life' for a graphical representation.
