It's not just you don't know, but that you don't wish to know or understand.
You don't want to learn, you want to prove that you're right and everyone else is wrong (you are currently failing spectacularly).
Well, today is not your day.
You argue God designed the Universe as He is the only being capable of such a feat.
How did the Universe come into being? I don't think it magically appeared. Let me introduce to the Big Bang Theory.
According to this theory, our universe sprang into existence as a singularity around 13.7 billion years ago. Singularities are thought to exist at the core of black holes. Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. After its initial appearance, it apparently inflated (the "Big Bang"), expanded and cooled, going from very, very small and very, very hot, to the size and temperature of our current universe. It continues to expand and cool to this day.
I don't know how the singularity came to be. But unlike you, I do not assume it is the handiwork of a God you haven't proven the existence of.
Also, as for chemistry, By 1000 BC, civilizations used technologies that would eventually form the basis of the various branches of chemistry. Examples include extracting metals from ores, making pottery and glazes, fermenting beer and wine, extracting chemicals from plants for medicine and perfume, rendering fat into soap, making glass, and making alloys like bronze. For a while, there was no distinction between chemistry and its protoscience, alchemy, but in 1661, Robert Boyle published The Sceptical Chymist, which made a clear distinction between alchemy and chemistry.
Chemistry is considered to have become an established science with the work of Antoine Lavoisier, who developed the law of conservation of mass.
How did those early civilisations learn to make soap, glass and extract metals?. Not a blooming clue. But once again, I do not assume it is the handiwork of a God you haven't proven the existence of.
