Is it because if you follow the logical progression of your own evolutionary theory, a being capable of creating a universe and all life in it, becomes an inevitable outcome of the theory?
Because there are physical limitations on everything. Elephants' feet suffer from being at the extreme end of mammalian size. Giraffes have similar problems with high blood pressure due to stretching the limits of neck height. Any evolutionary trait levels off as it becomes biologically expensive.
But if that's too hard to think about, consider skyscrapers. The limit on how high we build them is lower than how high we do build them. Why? Because eventually the lower floors are rendered useless by all the space taken up by elevators to the upper floors. All things have limits.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
