How does anything exist?
I want to know everyone's opinion. I mean, isn't the concept of being alive just crazy and strange to anyone? I feel that people don't look around enough and wonder how crazy existence is. Most humans seem to go through life as if they know what they are doing and know exactly what life is. But really, what is anything?

" Most humans seem to go through life as if they know what they are doing and know exactly what life is. But really, what is anything? "
and so it is their destiny ( when not in form existence) to discover otherwise.
Existence cannot be Understood by any way other way but by experiencing it .....and then comes the understanding of "That which changes is not Real, that which is Real does not change."

The being in itself is the phenomena that is shared by all that exist. It is the core of what we are and around that lies the separateness in which you define yourself or anything for that matter.
The seer, the seen and the seeing is one and the same, consciousness in action.

what about vise versa?
if you not observe something it not exist?

S.R. Ahmadi 20+
please think again to my question.
if you observe you can say it exist
but if you not observe you can not say it does not exist. you only can say I not observe it. nothing more. and if you say I not observe so it not exist it is not rational even if you say it not exist.
existing of something not need your believe and it will exist even if you believe it not exist.

nope. it may exists and so does flying spaghetti monster, one eyed God, unicorn, phallus God and God with no head.
S.R. Ahmadi 20+
but there is no evidence or even any claim for existence of them.
but at least Koran exist as a claim of God.

also God of Koran
Helen Hupe 30+
FOR ME. Now if I trust my memory or take the word of another, I can say I believe it exists.
You have a strong BELIEF that the God of the Koran exists, I do not. The God of Koran does not exist for me. My God is existence.
S.R. Ahmadi 20+
my argument with you was logical not based on belief.
I said God of Koran for det not for you.
yes I notices you said FOR ME and what I said was FOR YOU

it is exceptions. 3 exceptions does not change the law.
each law has exceptions.
also those exceptions are accepted by any wise human.
if in a war you be captured with enemy and enemy ask you where is location of your friends and wants to send a missile and kill them all do you say the correct location? because a true God loves his believers and also lie is a great sin a true God should predict such condition in a true religion and allow it. unless that religion is not from true God and is human made. a true religion from true God should be complete with no error. because true God has absolute knowledge of everything.

It doesn't exist because you can imagine the possibility that it doesn't.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles_all_the_way_down :
The most widely known version appears in Stephen Hawking's 1988 book A Brief History of Time, which starts:
A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"[1]

I don't really "believe", I assume something to be true until new data shows me otherwise.
As far as I'm informed, we can tell something reasonable about existence from aprox 13.7 billion years ago. We can also assume the thermic death in the far far future.
Before 13.7 Billion years, i'm agnostic about what was or wasn't there... (even whether there was time before the point we sometimes call big bang).

I'm with you here. My whole life has been trying to understand it all. What I find difficult is that the vast majority of folks don't seem to consider it at all. They just live, watch football, & die without a second thought.
The whole universe is just hanging there, we are like a mist; here today, gone tomorrow. Life as we know it hangs by a thread, but it's so precious.
I have come to the conclusion that the bible is on the money, & am now a Christian. Whether I am right, or we are the result of an explosion & lots of luck is a choice we all have to make (or not). Whatever the individual concludes, there is no denying the whole thing is awesome !

I do think we still don't know for sure how it all came to be (or whole existence), but we can go back for about 13.75 billion years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_universe), and from then on, we have quite a good image about how things evolved from then...
Living is indeed very fascinating and can be considered crazy...
We can only say "it just is"

The prize is an enormous psychological boost for China’s beleaguered reform movement and an affirmation of the two decades Mr. Liu has spent advocating peaceful political change in the face of unremitting hostility from the ruling Chinese Communist Party. Blacklisted from academia and barred from publishing in China, Mr. Liu has been harassed and detained repeatedly since 1989, when he stepped into the drama playing out on Tiananmen Square by staging a hunger strike and then negotiating the peaceful retreat of student demonstrators as thousands of soldiers stood by with rifles drawn. “If not for the work of Liu and the others to broker a peaceful withdrawal from the square, Tiananmen Square would have been a field of blood on June 4,” said Gao Yu, a veteran journalist...arrested before tanks began moving through the city.
