This also comes about because someone, somewhere claimed that logic exists regardless of anything else, hence something can exist out of the Universe, which poofs a god into this kind of existence.
Logic is invented - in the sense that it requires a conscious mind to conceive of it and cannot exist without it.

That derivation from collective consideration of observations would not occur without the assumption of a knowable universe.
