Hi meekerdb In my view (perhaps not yours) things are as they are and move as they do for a reason, called "sufficient reason".
Science is the pursuit of sufficient reasons. Determinism is the belief that sufficient reasons exist. And God (or some other creator) is the sufficient reason for why there is a universe and not nothing.
