'Why are we here?' someone asks. 'Why has the universe gone to all the trouble to exist,
      as opposed to not existing?'
'Since, as some say, nature follows the course of least resistance, doesn't existing,
      which is the course of greatest resistance,
            defy natural law?'
Would you be offended if I say God knows why He made the universe?
      Even so, no apology will be forthcoming.
