Something, Nothing, Many Things

According to some Ontologists, the fundamental philosophical question is 'Why is there something rather than nothing?'. However, that question is apparently mooted by the theological assumption of the necessary existence of God, i. e. because absolute Nothingness is impossible on that assumption. Nevertheless, the Theologian remains confronted with a modification of the Ontological question--'Why does God create anything?--to which one common response--'As a divine gift to his creations'--is hardly adequate, i. e. that response does not address why a presumed perfect entity does anything at all. Now, that modification suggests, in turn, a more fundamental question for the Ontologist--'Why is the question "Why is there something rather than nothing?" more fundamental than the question "Why are there many things rather than nothing?"?' In the absence of an answer, the Ontologist seems as baffled by Plurality as is the Theologian.
