gp7··on Why there is something rather than nothing – The finite, infinite and eternal [pdf]
If anyone is interested in some thoughts on this question that have been in vogue in recent years in academic philosophy circles you might want to look into speculative realism (and also look into the immediate disavowel of the term the moment those involved felt pigeon-holed).
