Why is there anything?

To most this does not appear to be sensible question but to me it is very meaningful.  There does appear to be something here.  Now my senses may delude me but it would be difficult to dismiss what I perceive as this reality.  So something is here.

My question would it not be much more easy to understand if simply nothing existed.  If so nothing would need a creation story.  There would be no philosophical questioning of any morality since none would exist. It would be simple.

Since this is not the case then one wants explanation of where "stuff" began.   Was there a time when there was nothing and something was created (as I choose to believe as a Christian) or in an infinite regress did "stuff" always exist?  Of course the infinite regress also applies to God.

Yet, for creation to occur then time must exist.  However, time may only be a dimension in our universe and I understand many believe time was created when the universe began.  Before that neither time nor space existed.  In that case there really was nothing in the absolute sense of the word.   Yet, I also understand that there likely was something that triggered the Big Bang related to multiple universes.  But then the question is how did they begin.

It seems to me that this suggests there is more to existence than can be explained by the scientific method. This seems to indicate a metaphysical sphere that so far has mostly been avoided except for the fringes and religions.    As a result I choose to believe that God does exist as the creator although I do not know how much he or she chooses to interfere with the physics of the universe.
