The fact that the universe was created does not imply there was a creator. After all, if God created the universe, who created he him?
Listen, all you need to know is that there is a reason for everything but a purpose to nothing. Everywhere we look in the universe we see evidence of natural law, rules that regulate how things happen with great precision. But nowhere do we see even the slightest hint of WHY things happen. This suggests that the universe is not an artifact. Now, it is true we have no way of knowing that for certain, but we certainly have no reason to believe otherwise. And until we do, the burden of proof is on the God faction, not on me. All that talk about life, and movement and energy is just a bunch of nouns connected by prepositions. It doesn't mean anything.
The computer before you was created for a purpose. Until you know what the purpose of the universe is, or until you can convince me it actually has a purpose, you are totally unqualified to be laying out the specifications for God.
