Etienne Gilson Quotes
Why are there organized beings? Why is there something rather than nothing? Here again, I fully understand a scientist who refuses to ask it. He is welcome to tell me that the question does not make sense. Scientifically speaking, it does not. Metaphysically speaking, however, it does.

But why anything at all is, or exists, science knows not, precisely because it cannot even ask the question.
