Everything, Something's or Nothing

Everything, Something's or Nothing
Ok, theists and atheists, is Everything happening for a reason, Something's or Nothing.

Feel free to provide a reason.
No need for the vacuous to announce their vacua and vacuity.

RE: Everything, Something's or Nothing
...In this hive of scum and villainy?

I guess, in the most permissive sense of reason - somethings. Maybe even most things? Hard to go for everything or nothing - real bad odds too. Just one example and the entire view built above it turns out to be fundamentally incorrect...and possibly wrong.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Stuff just happens, get over it!

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Reasons are narratives that humans produce to explain their world. Grind the universe down to the finest powder and you'll find no reasons. The rain needs no reason to fall and the seasons need no purpose to turn.

There are certain things, such as apostrophes, that often happen for the wrong reason.

This is your only qualification for intelligence? Sounds like you're the vacuous one here. Intelligence is a very complicated set of phenomena which has many factors, some of which still aren't understood.

As for honesty, maybe you should go first. What's your last username and when did you open this sock account?

There are reasons for everything that happens, but nothing happens "for a reason," at least as you are likely defining that phrase.

RE: Everything, Something's or Nothing
I'm wondering about the reason/motive for the OP's question. I guess I'm responding for a reason, curiosity. There is a good chance that I'll be disappointed.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Didn't take long for your ad hominem to kick in.
Did I say it was the only qualification of intelligence?
No.
