If you kept asking why behind every question then what's the last answerable why?

God

>>24728075
The Logos is the ground of intelligibility, superabdundent and superessential, not lacking in intelligibility. Volanturism/nominalism and divine command theory are both heretical.

>then what's the last answerable why?
i can't decide whether "just because" is a philosophically sound ultimate answer. i guess at a certain point "why does it really matter?" is the better response.
>>
>>24728092
I would be cautious of “why does it matter?” because it can backfire, now you’re running the opposite direction down the cause/effect ladder, defending things that should require no justification (ex: why should murderers be punished).
I like “just because” or simply “because” because it implies an explanation exists, you’re just not entitled to know every goddamn thing in the universe.

Time, space, and matter were created at the same time. There was no "time" "before" the creation.

There is a section of the Six Sigma program called "5 whys". The idea is that by the time you drill down 5 whys, you will have reached an actionable problem close to the source of the manufacturing issue.

You'll have take the last reason on faith, unfortunately. None of the arguments that attempt to answer this question are at all satisfying. As annoying as all the christian spam is, ultimately the core idea that you have to build the rest on will simply have to be believed in, regardless of what exactly it is. Or so it seems to me, though I'm kind of philosophically illiterate
