Alisdair, I can't agree with your objection. Discarding a question because it doesn't seem to have a ready answer isn't being "logical," it's simply avoiding hard questions.
The fact is that something exists, and we would like to know why this is so. This is neither rational or irrational-- it's just a product of a species that enjoys thinking about things.
