I have seen people arguing over the different theories of the beginning of the universe, etc. Has anybody argued over why the universe exists? I think it was God's way of giving us a spectacular gift to occupy our time.

I'm more focusing on the "why". What purpose does it really serve? We don't need it to exist. We'd be happy with a couple of celestial bodies and a sun.

If there is no God, then I agree that there is no purpose at all.
