Interesting points raised here Mark,

I think the problem comes from your reasoning, i.e. My house is red because I had it painted etc ... In my opinion this simplistic form of explanation cannot be applied to the universe (By which I mean the totality of all things.)

I think it's actuatley quite rational and valid to search for this explanation in terms of governing dynamics and laws, like the development of quantum mechanics and string theory. I think by defining the governing laws of the universe we can gain the explanation ...

Cheers

Sam
