Small point: we don't even know the universe came into existence at all. It might have just always existed in some form, with there never having been a state of "nothing".
Yes, it is the classical William Lane Craig thing or was it some other guy who was debating Christopher Hitchens.
The christian asked: "If there is no god, then where does our thoughts and feelings and intelligence comes from. Does it come from the oxygen molecule or carbonmolecule?"
Christopher's answer wasn't good.
Also, carbon is not a molecule. Also, our intelligence does not come from single molecules just like a calculators ability to calculate does not come from a silicon atom.

Well, if he's omnipotent, wouldn't that entail he could give things meaning?
No. Omnipower means being able to move things around, making matter and energy from nothing. Traveling through time.
Giving a meaning to something is not exactly an action. It is like giving a name to someone. I am not taking any action on that someone. The name is not something detectable on that someone.
