I honestly don't understand the argument that the universe needs a creator therefore the creator must be a god. It seems like a logical fallacy to me, either a false dilemma or a non sequitur. Perhaps even both. I'm not sure tbh.
The OP isn't saying that the universe needs a divine creator. It's just meant to be a fun exercise speculating about what would happen if science proved that God created the universe but said no more about God.
Speculating about what would happen if science proved we were in a computer simulation run by a mad scientist would be a different topic.
Where are the snake and mushroom smilies?
