You start with something, like a singularity, that has no formal property, only the propensity to produce being. To balance this, an informing principle is needed to give structure to how being manifests itself. Perfectly logical.
Who says that "the beginning" of our universe is a perfect singularity without formal properties? That's just an extrapolation of general relativity beyond its realm of validity.
Read about inflation to get an idea how little "intelligent" input is needed for a universe to arise. Start with a universe and a quantum field, and when it tunnels to a higher energy state this will trigger rapid expansion of the corresponding region of space, the field will decay and heat up the universe. The resulting thermal fluctuations are enough to trigger the formation of structure.
There are some laws to be postulated in this picture, but nothing that requires design or intelligence.
