Something or Nothing?

A recent Pew Research poll revealed that fewer Americans have faith and more are either atheists or agnostics.

Something is terribly wrong with our culture.  Its a simple question.  Why is there something instead of nothing?  Look around.  Its obvious there is an eternal force that causes it all to happen.  I don't pretend to know what its all about.  All any of us can do is ask nagging questions that beg for answers.  How can we look at the magnificent design, the complexity, the coordination of  functions of the human body, and even the body of a lowly sea urchin, and not be totally amazed?  How can we look to the sky at the sun, the moon, the earth, the stars, the galaxies and not marvel at the perfection of placement and orbit?  How can we look at a butterfly flitting among blooming flowers and a mockingbird perched on a tree limb singing his heart out and not marvel at the creation of it all?  How can we extol the virtues of evolution and not ask where does the force come from to cause evolution?  How can we trek the face of earth and not have faith in something greater than ourselves?

We don't know what It is, or what It's purpose is, but we do know It is there because there is something and not nothing.
