So how have you explained that you can't get a hope and reason for existing without God? You haven't. You made assertions.
Nor have you given evidence for God. You've just asserted that it's "all around you", no, that's life. So since you've failed to explain my question above, perhaps you could explain why the universe not only needs an explanation, but needs "God" as one, and God on the other hand somehow doesn't need an explanation at all?
