Mayyyyyyyybe 
So, intelligent you say? This "force", in the absence of a brain, is intelligent? What does intelligence even mean to this force? Before the universe there is nothing to know. How is its intelligence measured when all it can "know" is itself? Or is it intelligent in the sense that it can come up with abstract concepts and plan out an entire system from them? (As in, can conceptualize something such as "energy", "time", etc and can make a "stable" universe from these things?)
Benevolence? This force has the desire to do good before there is anything to do good to? What is "good" before the universe? There is nothing for this force to interact with, nothing for it to act kindly towards. Is the force good natured in preparation for the creatures it will soon create? If it feels a desire to be good, does it experience emotion? Where does this emotion come from when this force lacks a brain or the appropriate nervous system to process emotion? How can a force be subject to something which is a trait of animal evolution?
You see what I'm doing?
Please reply
