When it comes to the question “why does the universe exist at all”, the only reasonable answer is the theistic one; an eternal God created it and continues to sustain it.
Is there really a God? To this question, answers fall into three basic categories: 1. No (Athiesm) 2. Maybe (Agnosticism) 3. Yes (Theism) We must deal with the question of God’s existence. Indeed, how we answer this question might be the most important thing about us. It affects

Just as our attributes are above a dog’s comprehension, so God’s attributes are beyond our own—but on an infinite scale. The eternality and infinitude of God are two attributes of God that are beyond our understanding.
Many theologians forget that we are immersed in mystery. But God’s triunity, self-existence, and self-sufficiency demonstrate His mystery.
God wants to be known—but we could not know Him unless He chose to reveal Himself. He is beyond our imagination. The good news is, He has chosen to make Himself known to us. In order to get to know God, we need to make sure to listen to His voice.
