I don't think there's a why, that's a purely human question, it is concerned with meaning, you know, something brains create in order to make sense of the patterns in the world, it is something we're evolved to be able to do in order to survive. It's not something a God would have, unless said God would be itself part of a world similar to ours where it would have to survive as well. But anyway, we don't know how the universe came into existence. Nobody knows. But you're trying to say you do, and I'm just not comfortable with doing that myself. I prefer to admit when I'm in the dark about something rather than lie to myself that I'm not.
Science works on starting with a hypothesis which is something yet to be proven. Then subsequently evidence in support or against it is found. When Columbus sailed to American he was not that sure if he might fall of the edge. So in that light a creator God is a hypotheses, sure one of many. However the title of the thread suggested what you were looking for is what kind of evidence can support such a hypotheses. If that is of interest to you then I'll be happy to share my views.
