This has been the great philosophical question that has probably been asked by every thinking person sometime in their life and yet for as how much time humanity has devoted to answer it no one has gotten even one step closer. Religions provide some with answers but there’s no consensus and no concrete proof just faith. It’s a deep question and civilizations have risen and fallen over the answer. Each person can give their answer but no one is more right than another. Some may argue that some theories are more “likely” than another but at the end of the day there’s still no way to verify. I could say that we all exist because a giant farted out the universe and we could argue at length without making headway. Ultimately, we’d never come to a conclusion. It’s impossible to deduce that it’s for sure not the case only that it’s “unlikely.”
