When I have asked priests and/or elders of many religions these kind of questions the answer ends up being something along the lines of "That is one of God's mysteries that we don't have the ability to understand"
While I believe that a finite mind and understanding can't perfectly grasp the inifinite, I don't for a second believe that God couldn't provide us with answers to questions like, Why are we here? Why were we created? Who/what is God? What is our destiny? and so on.
Understanding the why's and how's only help firm up a person's resolve to have faith. I think at times people equate philosophy with questioning faith with the intent to destroy. However it is quite obvious that those whose writings we find in books of scripture did just that, they asked questions, then lived by the answers they got.
