Default We do not exist

It just seems to me, that nothing is real, nothing exists, i do not exist, you do not exist.

basically, my thread is all about the idea of how we came about. We are humans, living on a huge ball of gas and minerals and compounds and different things. We are in a “infinite” amount of space with no air, no weight, no nothing. Just balls of gas everywhere, and different chemicals and such. How did we get here?

Well.. many theories suggest there was a “Big Bang” in which a bunch of chemicals combusted and exploded outward, and started forming the universe as we know it, many billions of years ago. The thing that bothers me the most, is how did those original chemicals or substances get there? Now maybe aliens put them there, or what not, to create another universe, but how did those aliens get there?

Many believe that god created everything. Personally, I'm not a very religious person. I am someone who has to know how something works to understand it. For instance, in math, a^2 * b^2 = c^2 WHY!!!! Not my math teacher, my sister, no one can tell me why “It just is, you just have to accept it” I DONT WANT TO ACCEPT IT, I WANT TO KNOW HOW IT WORKS. So basically, i don't believe that a god created the universe, but if so, how did that god create himself? Some of my friends suggest he created himself. But let me ask you this. Can you think of anything that can create itself? I sure cant, how can someone make something happen if they don't exist.

Why are we here? Another great question that kinda ties into what i was saying before. What is our purpose in life? Now I'm not being one of those people that always looks at things down, i enjoy my life, and i enjoy playing games, talking to my friends, and just hanging out. But can we win? What is our goal in life, just to make a lot of money and one day rot in the ground? There has to be a bigger purpose in life, if not, why have us here?
I have a quote here, from the book “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” Now its not the exact quote, cause i left the book at school, but here is the basic jist.

Quote:
As soon as someone figures out why we are here, the universe will be instantly gone, and a new one created, more mind boggling than the one before it. There was a similar theory like this before, but the universe restarted
Just think about that, i know it might not be true, but hey, we are here, and that is mind boggling in itself.
