Philosophy How is it that there is existence? How is it that we exist? There are two theories as to how there is existence. Something came from nothing or something has always existed. Something cannot come from nothing, because there is nothing from which to create it, therefore there has always been something, because there has to be something from which it was created. So, the question is how is it that there has always been existence? There has always been existence, because for there to be something there has to be something from which it was created. But, have I really answered the question, how is it that there is existence? No, I haven't. I have only answered the question, why is there existence? Why do we exist? Why do I exist? I exist, because someone or something created me. Why is there existence? There is existence, because someone or something created existence. But that creates another question. How can you have something that creates something. In order for something to exist it has to be created. But then in order for that something to be created there has to be something that already exists. So there is a paradox. Which came first the chicken or the egg? In order for there to be a chicken it has to come from an egg. But in order for there to be an egg, it has to come from a chicken. There is a paradox. So to avoid the paradox one must ask a different question. How is it that something can exist without being created? Something has always existed without having been created. Again, I have not really answered the question, only having used circular logic. Answering a question by using the question as your answer. I can answer the why, but not the how. Why does something exist without being created? Because for there to be something there has to be something from which it was created, which causes a paradox, therefore something has to have always existed. Because for there to be something that has not been created, there has to be something that has always existed. How is it that something can exist without being created? This question cannot be answered. This question cannot be answered with any greater understanding than our limited minds can perceive, therefore there is a limit to our understanding of this question. Because our minds cannot fathom infinity. Our minds cannot fathom something having always existed without having been created, because we exist in spacetime. All things have a beginning and an end. We exist in a limited environment with limited understanding. If understood differently. There is no such thing as something having been created. All things exist without having been created. Infinity is the existence of all things having existed always. The only thing that is being so-called "created" is the form in which it exists. What we call creation is simply the changing of its form in which it exists. Creation is the changing of its form of existence.  |
