How do you determine whether something is a good question? How is asking "why are there rainbows" any different from asking "why does anything exist at all"? Why has your materialist ideology of choice declared certain questions verboten?
There is a difference. Rainbows are part of the physical world and can be investigated within the strictures of the physical world. However why the physical world itself exists and exists in the way it does cannot be answered the same way without circular logic "it exists because.. it exists". The problem is not that it is a bad question, it is that it is unsolvable through science.
I already explained it with Ockham's razor. Ockham's razor does not mean "simpler is better", it means if something has no influence on the outcome then it is unnecessary. For example if the color of a snooker ball has virtually no effect on how fast it travels when hit by a pendulum you leave it out of the equation. Likewise nothing within materialism tells us why the material world exists.
So you have modern materialist ideologies that try to base themselves on science, yet science does not give you every answer, neither does it pretend it can. It is not going to give you the answer to ethical questions or questions about consciousness. These ideologies are inherently flawed, they will claim "transwomen are real women" or "everyone is equal, black people would have the same crime rates and IQs as white people were it not for racial microaggressions according to critical race theory". It is why we end up with shit like this and no one questions it, because to actually care about the truth as a principle is itself superstitious. In the materialist view we are a bundle of psychology and neurology to be manipulated for some purpose, a demographic, statistics in a spreadsheet. What matters is that we believe we are all equal and don't get upset by dropping standards of living, rising crime or vote for any "extremists" in reaction.
