Is the universe's explanation of its existence either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause? I am not sure how you would defend the former, so if we go with the latter, we end up discussing #2.

Sigh ...

Here's one logical defense: The cosmos exists because something rather than nothing has to exist, and the cosmos (with multiverse and thereby all possibilities being actual) is the natural expression of that existence.

Refute it, or forever be silenced, lol.
