I think it's just a tautology (the existence of anything)?
There's also a related question: why do only specific things exist, like space, time, and the laws of physics? I like Max Tegmark's take on this: well, what if it's not just particular things that exist, but everything that can possibly exist, simply exists? It's just that we happen to find ourselves in this particular mathematical structure, one of (infinitely?) many.
