Just remember science is about what and how, when you get to stuff like why, it's philosophy. 90% of all of the ridiculous arguments that seem to happen around this subject appear due to the inability to keep these separate.

How does the existence of a God explain the absence of nothingness? Infinite regression, and all of that. That is one of the things that would keep me away from a faith.

Maybe there is no "why". The world is, no reason, at least nothing we could ever understand.
