Why must it always come back to some being?

For one thing, there are many layers of complexity here.

Matter is made up of energy, so matter may not be able to be destroyed, but it can be converted.

We exist in one dimension. There is more than satisfactory proof that other dimansions exist. Maybe there WAS absolutely nothing, but a leak was made that caused energy and/or matter to find it's way into our dimension.

There are types of matter we have yet to discover, other types we have yet to study. The rules change with scale. impossibilities on our scale are regular on a quantum scale, and at larger scales.

There is plenty beyond human comprehension. To me, the easy way out is to say someone had to do it. it is a dark, scary, lonely way to look at everything if you dont accept that there is a big brother out there taking care of us and everything else.

But to me, it is very freeing. I knwo I am a good person, because i am a good person. I dont have some fear that i will burn in hell if i do something wrong, i just believe in right and wrong. It is possible to be non-religious and still be moral.
