The question of why there is something rather than nothing has always been the ultimate embarrassment to me. In the last few years, I have come around to Max @tegmark's position: existence is quite possibly the default. Everything that is implementable is implemented.
The universe might be a fractal that is generated by superimposing all finite automata. We'd be inhabiting a portion that has the properties required to accommodate us (i.e. forming an extensive portion of flat and isotropic lattice, so some particles don't decay).
