AbstractWe consider evolution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Universe</strong> based on <strong>the</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ard BigBang model, quantum models <strong>of</strong> creation, <strong>and</strong> recent <strong>the</strong><strong>or</strong>y <strong>of</strong> nonlineardynamics, including deterministic chaos <strong>and</strong> fractals. We show that bylooking f<strong>or</strong> an <strong>or</strong>der <strong>and</strong> harmony in <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong> complex surrounding realw<strong>or</strong>ld <strong>the</strong>se modern studies give also new insight into <strong>the</strong> most imp<strong>or</strong>tantphilosophical issues exceeding <strong>the</strong> classical ontological principles, e.g.,providing a deeper underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> an old philosophical question: whydoes something exist instead <strong>of</strong> nothing? We postulate that <strong>the</strong> <strong>or</strong>igin <strong>of</strong><strong>Universe</strong> is based on a simple but nonlinear law. Finally, it is w<strong>or</strong>th notingthat in ma<strong>the</strong>matical-natural sciences we ought to look f<strong>or</strong> <strong>the</strong> sense <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> w<strong>or</strong>ld in <strong>the</strong> mystery <strong>of</strong> rationality; <strong>the</strong> sense <strong>of</strong> every existence is<strong>the</strong> justification <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Universe</strong>. Finally, we argue that this scientific viewprovides also sense <strong>and</strong> hope to a human existence.Keyw<strong>or</strong>ds: science, philosophy, reality, truth, reason, religion, sense, lifeSRC, Warsaw, 3 October 2013 1
