Because that would be a God of the gaps. Filling the beginning with a skyhook. If you don't understand something I think its better to wait for the evidence before you believe than to just fill it with a skyhook.
E.g to Fill it with a supernatural creator that there is no evidence of whatsoever and would have to be far far more complex and improbable than the universe itself.
Ergo, as Dawkins says:
God almost certainly does not exist.
He's a lot more improbable than pretty improbable. He's about as improbable as it can get.
And I say he because I'm sick of saying he/she/it and a lot of people consider it a he.
And I don't really see the difference between a non-existent He, She, or It.
Almost certainly of course.
