Maybe I'm just not smart enough to understand.

What you are saying certainly answers that the universe does exist (or at least we perceive it to) but how does that answer the why? If i can ask the question then the universe does exist. Great. But why?

    why has two different meanings. You can ask "why did something happen" and expect a causal explanation, i.e. event B happened because event A happened earlier, or you can ask it like "why is this happening", like "what is the purpose in it". does that make sense to you?

    Yes, but neither is what you are answering. Or i just don't get how that answers it.

    You are telling me this answers the question "does the universe exist" but i am asking why there is anything there in the first place so that the universe can exist. Why is there a medium for the fabric of space and time to exist within. There could have just been nothing.

    I understand that there is. And we are here. But thats not my question and i don't think your answering that question.
