Why is there something rather than nothing? (Humans)

This question more than any other seems to be the prime motivator for Religions of any sort. I saw a video once of a physicist who tried to explain how the universe came literally from nothing. It was quite comical really..-The reason the concept of nothing is so hard to fathom is because it is an impossible state. 'Nothing', much like 'Time', 'Darkness', and the 'color black', is an intellectual construct that has no place in reality other than as an abstract to help us understand 'something'. Binary thinking is dangerous in that way. It allows us to create a concept that does not really exist and try to use it as if it does exist.
