I think you have to realize that theres a chance that there is no real reason for anything.
That's why I find the subject so interesting. There really is no reason anything should exist at all. The universe itself is just one of many things that defy reason, like our consciousness. That doesn't mean that ignoring it makes any sense. That's not to say that you shouldn't ignore it, I don't care what you do. But I see it this way, something does exist, but just as well nothing needs to exist in the first place. Nothing at all, God, our universe, matter, time, anything. So why does it? I'll never know the answer, but it tickles me the right way to reflect on these things for a few minutes every now and then.
Saying I'm trying to add meaning or purpose to something doesn't change the paradox.

there are some REALLY interesting theories on "where all this stuff came from"
Do they all involve laws being suspended for one miraculous event? In fact, scientifically, the creation of the universe represents a miracle, which I believe is unavoidable. But if you have references to scientists saying something contrary to this, I'd love to see them. I'll probably research it myself later.

I think for most scientist, where all this came from is interesting but not very practical.
True. I suppose for me it seems more practical in understanding the nature of the creator, but not everyone has the same beliefs as me of course.
