    Everything exists because either a). It always existed b). It has to exist c). It wants to exist.

    None of these necessarily contradict eachother for example a + b = c or b + c = a, or a + c = b.

    But they also seemingly contradict eachother in the fact that if b). It has to exist then c) wanting to/having a desire to is irrelevant. Or if a). It always existed... then b) it has to exist is redundant and c). wants to exist is also redundant as there was never the choice not to want to exist because it always existed.

    So which is the right answer?

    If any of those letters have the facility to want, I bet the first thing they'd want is to get the hell off your screen and get as far away from you as possible.

    Your conclusions seem correct based upon your selected variables. But I suspect there's more possibilities than just A, B & C. For example C could lead to a B. As an extension of C, say there's a god who wants to exist and so constitutes a universe to sustain it's desire to exist. Then from there chooses to create an additional universe that has to exist (at least as long as a god continues to enforce it).
