Re: What caused the universe to exist?

The question "Why does X exist?" is meaningful only
when it is conceivable that X might not have existed.

The ultimate question about the cause of the universe
cannot pass this test for meaning because it is not
possible to conceive of the universe not existing. To
have a conception of any kind, one must presuppose a
universe in which one can conceive.
