> The logical jumping jacks required to answer a "why" question of the universe are pretty much road blocks to any kind of definitive answers. Science, while a great way to explore the world we live in, just doesn't account for the meaning, purpose, or reason *for* the world we live in. Finding the answers to those is a job for a very different art. Religion handles that, actually, or philosophy, or just plain theorizing: whatever you want to call it.

There is, of course, also the distinct (albeit slightly depressing) possibility that the entire question "why?" is meaningless because the universe itself is meaningless.
