Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the Universe going.
Stephen HawkingThe meaning in life is not out there but inbetween our ears. In many ways this makes us the lords of creation.
