You told me once that you are a Christian. 😕

OK, then answer the question you asked me. What is the ultimate "why"?
An ultimate why would need some kind of scale of whys. I don't think such a thing exists. I believe there are a few rather fundamental whys which might or might not be possible to answer in a causal or metaphysical way. So, to answer your question, I do not know of an "ultimate way" and I doubt it exists.

No, you asked "How did we get here". To me "How did we get here" is just another way of asking the ultimate question of why.
If there is no answer to the "ultimate way", then witch is better, A: God or B: because?

Originally posted by ShakyamunisonIt's not a matter of choosing though.
That is fine, but I choose, because. But remember there is no real answer to the question. So, we are both equally right and wrong.
God is an answer
Because isn't. Because is the equivalent of dancing two minutes on the spot after being asked the question.
You choose to prefer not to ask the question or think of an answer. That is okay. I do too. You can't logically choose to prefer "Because" as an answer, as it isn't one.

Maybe you have a problem with the word "because" do to the fact that some people use it as a way of dodging. That is not my intent. I'm trying to describe a circle.
