Why does anything exist rather than nothing

This is a very good question. It is actually the one question you cannot answer.

The 'how' is because the RNG isn't generating 0000 over and over again.

How/why is there an RNG instead of nothing? And on and on and on...

What you don't understand (as do no atheists) is that at its core, there was always something not nothing. In other words, atheists think that first there was nothing and from nothing came things but this is totally, utterly incorrect.

There was always a thing, a god. Always, undeniably. There has to be to explain everything (even the god itself). If you operate with the idea that it was NOTHINGNESS that CAME FROM THE ORIGINAL THING, you begin to understand reality incredibly well but if you operate on the notion that the true original reality has nothing in it, as opposed to at least one thing, then you begin to never comprehend how anything could be real.

I am a Theist, but I admit, similar to Deists, that God is a sociopath who is struggling to feel any bias towards the 'good' in her universe. She loves the cruel as much as the kind and doesn't know why she shouldn't.

Nothing means has no characteristics like design, location, name, density, age, etc. Even these are characteristics. Nothingness is an impossibility. Every nothing can still be defined with characteristics and will definitely make it something.

If you have nothing in your bank account, at least it has your name on it.

If you have nothing in your refrigerator, at least we know the location of that nothing; in refrigerator. We can tell it's size limits and temperature, etc. Ability to describe it makes it something.

You can make history if you give an example of a perfect nothing, then we go ahead and swap it with something of every-thing which will include no-thing. Zero is a number.

The universe is a physical construct. Science declares that nothing physical can create itself. So it must have been created.

Note that the universe cannot be eternal, with no beginning, because of the law of entropy. If the universe had always existed, there would be no energy left. We can also rule out an expanding/contracting universe, since the rate of expansion is actually increasing. So there will be no big crunch. Face it. The truth is that the universe was created. No other explanation makes any sense.
