Though I can how understand someone with a passing familiarity with cosmology might misunderstand what the observational evidence tells us.
The observational evidence can hardly begin to help us understand the universe. If we could pinpoint the center of the universe from which it all began to expand, we'd understand a lot more. But shifting time/space has obliterated the center and ergo the boundary.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
