This is just meaningless. This is what passes for metaphysics and 
sophisticated theology today. It can mean whatever the writer wishes it 
to mean so it is irrefutable.
The universe does not by its existence pose any questions. Questions are 
the product of human inquiry, human minds. Questions do not exist 
divorced from human minds.
