The
Mary Celeste sailed into the Mediterranean Sea, past the rock of Gibralta, and without crashing...all with nobody on board. Of course, your argument is the standard "ships have captains therefore the universe must have a creator" argument, and it is wholly without merit. We only know ships have captains because that is how our ships work, and how we made them. We know very little about how the universe appeared, and so far what we do know doesn't have a God in it.

Again, we only know there is a builder because of our past experience with buildings. If we took a person who had lived in a cave all their life, and had not seen any human construction
at all, they wouldn't be able to say if there was a builder or not, simply because they have never had a notion of a builder.
