The more intelligent and capable a creative agency (inventor, artist, design team, etc.) is, the better it will be at crafting the form of an artifact to its function. If the Cosmos was designed by an omni-capable being or beings, we would expect it to suit its purpose with exquisite, sublime perfection. We certainly would not expect all but the teeniest part of it to consist of wasted space, energy, and material. We would expect that it be functional for its intended purpose for most, if not all, of its operational lifetime.
So, if this Cosmos was designed by intelligence(s), it very clearly was not designed as a human-habitat. It only barely permits our existence at all! Even if the Cosmos is a created artifact (you have provided no evidence for this claim) we have no reason to assume we could even fathom its purpose. You are like a bacterium on an office doorknob in the Large Hadron Collider complex saying, "Hey! I can live here! The Great Bacterium must have made this place just for me!
The Cosmos we live in is compelling evidence against your god.
Oh but wait, no, you see, there is thing called "sin". The fall of man makes it harder for us to completely see design b/c we are fallen human beings. All of the destruction, messiness, and death we see in the universe was because we disobeyed God. But we can still see the remnant. It's just so fine tuned! You can't see it because of your sin. Boo hoo.
