Why do people think there has to be a why there is something rather than nothing?

Why ask why?

Try bud dry.

I think the real question is:

Why are invisible unicorns pink?

Clearly, the refraction of N-rays in the aether. The same effect occurs if you combine a large quantity of phlogiston with any of the four elements.

Right, but it is our own faults. If we would just open our hearts and accept Jesus as our personal savior and become Bible believers then we would know. Why are we so stubborn?

Just to play devil's advocate again... Admiral, on what grounds do you say there is something rather than nothing?
