Plato's Rebuttal, oil on linen canvas 40"X40"  $65,000.00

The questions why and how we exist can be pondered via science or metaphysics.  However, Science is eventually a dead end. We can learn a great deal from smashing atoms, Maybe even figure out how to travel beyond the speed of light or navigate through time. But they can never tell us why within the span of 3 earthly minutes there were some 1080 hydrogen & helium atoms floating about destined to create life. These atoms are energized to collapse and create star nurseries which eventually led to us. Those that remained unchanged by gravity and heat still exist today and we breathe them, eat them etc... These atoms are the manifestation of an energy source, not the fountain of that energy. If the atom is not conscious how can it possibly self-arrange to eventually reason?  These answers can only be found in the realm of metaphysics.
