Hello everyone, this seems to be a good time to come out of my transhumanist closet:

This seems to me to be certainly false.
Will you not agree that some day we may discover that
1) the universe was created by some entity and that we in some way might ask it
why it did so?
2) if we discover that our universe was created by accident, that that constitutes an
answer to the question of 'Why?'.
Regards,
Eric
