In science, if we did that we would arrive to experience. Laws work because they make good predictions and that´s all there is to it. In Mathematics if we kept asking why we would arrive to axioms.

But what about ethics or morality? It´s not based on axioms or experience. What if we just keep asking why?
 
Some would say there are axioms like “love your neighbor as yourself” but for me the follow-up from Jesus (Luke 10:30-37) is more revealing – we can reason out the most moral action because we instinctively have compassion written on our hearts.
 
Jesus,our Lords peace be whit You.
No it is not a sin as we usually mean,but there are things we should not ask. If we says that we believe we cant say that and ask “why” at the same time. Some things are realy black and white whit no grey in betveen. We have faith,and then we don’t have to ask “why”,or we have no faith and don’t need to ask “why”. Same ting whit pregnat women,no one is “just a little pregnant”,it is yes or no. If You have to ask why,I will pray for You that Your faith will be stronger. One day we will know all the ansvers,to that day we better just keep our faith strong. You ask if it is a sin to ask “why”,and I repeat,it is not a sin,but not a question God pleases to hear neither.
Blessings,Totterman

Someone whip me into shape if I’m wrong, but I’d say God is the pre-eminent and ultimate axiom, alpha and omega. “Why?” to the nth points us to God, perhaps through the compassion written on our hearts inocente mentioned.
 
"Is it a sin against God to always ask why in ethics or morality?"

If you’re asking specifically about a Catholic, that depends whether during the conversion process, a person has a willing desire to work toward papal positions and Apostolic traditions on ethics and morality.

If a person refuses to initially search out and accept the guidances from the Pope and Catholic tradition on ethics and morality (and is determined to become their own pope) then that is a perversion of truth and is sinful.

The whole name of our religious traditions derives from the term 'struggles with God". Finding the good is a real battle. It is the battle that defines us as religious people.

Why something rather than nothing?
