I also hope the other thing I've said on this thread makes sense. Addressing this thread in the meta-sense, it looks like we've got epistemic issues rotting throughout--here's my solution:

(BTW: This metaconversation might actually involve the validity of this whole thread. You don't even know.)

Can we ascertain there is a universe?

Yes, because we need one to assert that David Hart exists. His article is in fact proof that he is a real thing we have to contend with, because we are reading his article, and if it didn't exist, man, how would I have known he existed? I'm series.

Did god make David Hart? Because if David Hart exists, there has to be a reason for him, wouldn't you think? Because if people just existed for no particular reason, wouldn't that give all of us "a sad"?

All "sads" aside, I think I could account for David Hart's existence without asserting a priori that there is a god. The conditions of the universe are such that they inevitably produced humanity. Come on. Why else are we carbon-based, bilaterally-symmetrical, oxygen-breathing reasoning bipeds, except for the very universal conditions that would have needed to appertain to guide our evoluton to be....like that?

So stick with me--if a universe needed to produce a David Hart-and since there is one, obviously it needed to--how would it get one?

You might say it only needed to get David Hart's mom and dad together--but that would be so improbable based on how doable both of them seriously were. How do any people ever meet and decide others are doable unless God ordained they would bump uglies? Oh--wow. There totally had to be a God there. Sorry, David Hart. You existing is specifically a result of all your previous ancestors' being so totally undoable as to never sexually result in you except through Divine Intervention. Therefore, God exists because you do. My bad.
