Asking why there is a universe like the one in which we are is like asking why someone won the lottery. The answer will either be trivial or it will require assumptions which are implausible, unconfirmable or both.This essay discusses the question of why asking about why there is a universe will never really lead to any concrete answer.

It is the only vehicle through which meaning can be derived in metaphysics. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 1 source.
