I really don't understand this. It seems like you're saying that because god chose to create the universe in the manner he did, it was because it was the only possible universe for him to create? I am sure you have heard the illustration that if water was to flow into a hole the water may conclude that the hole was perfectly made for it right? But the point of that illustration is finding meaning in a random event. But it seems like you're saying that if I dug a hole and filled it with water then it would discredit my digging and filling that hole because it was the only possible hole to support that amount of water? I don't get it...
