Scientism
In the beginning, there was a nothing that came from nowhere.
This nothing exploded into everything for no reason at all - for no reason is ever needed.
To ask for a reason implies you don't understand how to formulate proper questions.
This primal explosion cooled into equal amounts matter and anti-matter.
Matter and anti-matter annihilate each other.
Somehow, even though equal amounts of matter and anti-matter came out of nowhere,
an excess of leftover matter remains after all annihilation completed.
Two photons are created each time one particle
of matter and one particle of anti-matter destroy each other.
Today, there are a billion photons for every one atom in the universe.
This means our universe consists of leftover stuff that's proportionally
only one-billionth of the stuff that existed after the primal Big Bang.
This one-billionth of leftover matter shouldn't exist.
The Standard Model of accepted Physics says so. But we do exist.
This anomaly doesn't prove the Standard Model wrong, only incomplete.
Remember, the Standard Model is never wrong, only incomplete.
And there's more that's incomplete in the Standard Model.
It seems that everything we see, feel, and interact with,
all the matter and energy in all stars, planets, everything including us,
all of it is only 4% of what remains of this leftover stuff from the primal bang.
28% is something else we've named Dark Matter.
68% is something else we've named Dark Energy.
We don't seem to interact with Dark Matter and Dark Energy
but they make up 96% of everything leftover after the Big Bang,
and remember, all of that is only one-billionth
of what was originally produced out of nothing for no reason.
There's another weirdness too, or call it incomplete.
All of this leftover stuff is somehow expanding
and its expansion is expanding at an increasing rate.
If the projections are correct, this expansion will continue
until all leftover stuff diffuses away to nothingness.
The expansion will someday pull every atom apart,
then pull the quarks in the nucleus apart,
then pull apart the sub-atomic particle soup
until the dissipating zero-point energy disappears altogether.
Out of nothing.
Back to nothing.
Once again for no reason.
For none is needed.
If you ask for a reason it only shows
you don't know how to form valid questions.
And so - You are nothing
here for no reason.
You are leftover stuff
that shouldn't exist.
All the stuff you know is only 4% of the one-billionth
of what was originally exploded into existence.
The rest was annihilated - just like you should have been.
Since you have no purpose here, no reason to exist,
it shouldn't bother you when all of this leftover stuff
races away from itself in a mad dash to pull itself apart,
to return to the nothingness from whence it came.
Welcome to the Church of Scientism.

"Scientism is the broad-based belief that the assumptions and methods of research of the physical and natural sciences are equally appropriate (or even essential) to all other disciplines, including philosophy, the humanities and the social sciences. It is based on the belief that natural science has authority over all other interpretations of life, and that the methods of natural science form the only proper elements in any philosophical (or other) inquiry."
every zeitgeist seems to have its dogma
