There are a lot of ways to respond to this, but my first intuition is to just as the most simple question that this line of thinking begs. If I accept your argument as valid, this still leaves me with an incredibly profound problem. Which god do I now choose? And upon what basis do I make this choice?
If you accept the argument, and therefore think a god exists. Then it follows that he couldn't have let his creatures -us, without guidance. The most tenable candidates for that would be abrahamic religions, other known religions either self-affirm their godlessness or are by definition a collection of nebullous, and often contradictory wisdoms, christianity runs into the fatal logical problem of trinity. You're left with Judaism and Islam, the only strictly monotheist beliefs today.
If you agree with all what's above, we'll assess together which of the two remaining religions closely fits what would one expect from an all powerful god.
A. There is no logic that dictates that a creator would not or could not leave its creation without guidance.
B. There are plenty of other religious modalities that do offer guidance to the creations besides the Abrahamic 3. You just may not understand how they work.
C. What we (humans) would expect from an all powerful god is irrelevant. By definition, it would be impossible for us to comprehend such a being.
Why is it so?
