Is there objective Truth?

[Whateverist]

P.S. two of the most pseudo-profound non-questions ever to be asked:

1. Why is there something rather than nothing?

2. Why does existence exist?

They're both akin the asking "Why does A=A instead of A=not A?" or "Why are bachelors unmarried instead of married?"

Nonsensically asked questions.

Alasdir Ham raises a common objection but fails to understand the significance of it. By hand-waving away the question “Why is there something rather than nothing?”, he or she, is by default asserting that the existence of the physical universe is a brute fact. He, or she, may not realize that this in turn entails a further assertion, that the universe must be as it is, since for it to be otherwise would require a prior cause, the one responsible for its existence.

Neo-Scholastic makes the usual sort of point one would expect from someone who expects more from themselves than our organisms can reasonably support. When he, she, they or it says "the universe must be as it is, since for it to be otherwise would require a prior cause, the one responsible for its existence" ... he, she, they or it is assuming that the world must always be answerable to our simian understanding, a common assumption amongst theists which is never itself defended.
