It is you working backwards from the conclusion that god exists and attempting to make that fit with cosmology. It is a bare assertion with no evidence that you are only making because you have preconceived answer that you are attempting to reach.
If one goes with the evidence and attempts to build a working model of the universe from the ground up, the leap to an all-powerful, conscious entity causing the universe to exist is far from reasonable.
It becomes especially silly when you consider that all this effort and spin is purely so as to make the genesis fable match up to reality. When sci fi fans do that sort of thing, the general reaction is one of pity and calls to obtain a life. This is no less pitiable just because the mythology is held up as holy writ (when in actual fact it's atrociously writ).
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
