Define your higher being. Now, make it not self-contradictory. Now, put forth a reasonable reason why it created the universe. Don't worry, we'll wait.
And, I have to ask, who's ego is larger? Someone who simply marvels at the size of the universe and the incredibly low odds that we're us, or someone who thinks that an unseen parental figure created an environment just for them to live in?
Theists, but modern Christians in particular, suffer from what I'm now labeling the Double Star Trek Fallacy. They think that everything around them "must be meant for man" while never asking "what does god need with a starship humanity?" If that's not hubris, nothing is.
