Have you ever come across the annoyingly inquisitive five year old or the obnoxious drunk neighbor who keep asking you "why?" after every explanation you give them? In my opinion this answer is the best way to just end that never ending stream of "why?" Just simply say: anthropic multiverse.
Of the ten potential answers this article lists the anthropic multiverse answer is my favorite. The basic premise of this theory states that there are possibly an infinite amount of universes that allow life to exist. So if these universes allow life to exist and human beings live in one of the universes then by extension human beings do exist.
So why then? As the anthropic multiverse explains its just how it is. Fullstop, end of dicussion.
