Do you agree the existence of the universe was either intentionally caused or unintentionally caused to exist? So either Goddidit or Naturedidit is more plausible than any other theory since one or the other is true. What's counter intuitive about the universe having been intentionally caused to exist? Scientists have caused the virtual universe to exist. Some day they many populate with virtual people who experience reality as we do. Alan Guth believes scientists maybe able to cause a universe to exist. If they can would you concede it was intentionally caused?
Virtual universes weren't timelessly caused. As for the rest, it's not even germane as you're not responding to the central point in any meaningful sense.
