Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

[dyresand]

There are multi-purposes for God creating the universe; these purposes are being accomplished using natural law over a limited time frame. Occasionally, He employs natural law and natural phenomena in an extraordinary way to bring about His will…for instance the Red Sea crossing. http://ed5015.tripod.com/BRedSeaCrossing.htm, and even less occasionally, He operates supernaturally which is outside of natural law by overriding the laws of physics, such as gravity and the laws of thermodynamics. Examples: the historical Christianity belief in creation ex nihilo, and Christ walking on water. Why does God ‘fiddle’ around and not use supernatural miracles exclusively, one reason is undoubtedly it may imply that nature is God’s adversary; He created the forces of nature to serve His purposes. It's a fallacy that God's sole purpose in creating the universe is to provide a perfectly comfortable environment for life, and especially human life.

in other words no god and or deity is not needed.
