Why Is

I’ll try to make this as brief as possible, and the more brief I succeed in making it the more presumably incisive the expression of the thought. To say also we have to be very careful about falling into self-exalting pride when talking of these kinds of matters, wallowing in some sense for example of even being external to and above reality, and judging it.

If reality were simply rational, there would be no reality as the rational state of existence would be nothingness, which could only produce more nothingness. However we have in existence obviously ‘somethingness’, and so then we have to go beyond rationality to explain this somethingness that is in direct contradiction to the rational state of nothingness that should otherwise be. So then we can say God is brought in as a necessary explanation, that lies beyond the natural or rational. So the supernatural is inclusive of the natural but far above it, and its source. It is not irrational, which is beneath the natural or rational!

But then naturally - stressing ‘naturally’ - someone can say, “But where does God come from so?!”

But this is to immediately try to bring the supernatural down to the level of the natural again, which we had just had to go beyond to explain the existence of the natural! 

This is an unfathomably enormous thought or reality - why or how God is - and it’s unanswerable.  We’re obviously well beyond that plane of natural causality. For the intellect thinking it can retain its own primacy with such questions is akin to a minor object hurtling towards the sun. What will happen the object the close it gets? One clue: it won’t colonise the sun!
