ABSTRACT
There always will remain questions; existence does not explain itself (‘mystery’, see p. 18). However, if we only stress the inexplicable, we would lose sight of the integrity of the universe, the reliability of phenomena. It is not as if something unexpected and incomprehensible can happen any moment. Rather the contrary; the universe in its development turns out to behave according to regularities (laws of nature). If the universe is seen as a gift, the present is a complete one; it has its own integrity. It is not a puppet on a string, with someone else pulling the ropes, or an incomplete product that needs supplementation or correction from time to time.
