jj: Hello, nice to meet you 
Saying it must be god because you can't think of any other explanation is the argument from incredulity, which I cover on my website here.
We don't know what happened. But the truth does not depend on anyone's ability to imagine the truth. Just saying "it is god" is no explanation, it's just putting a face on the "I don't know" answer.
You're just saying, "The universe was created by the thing that created the universe." Which is true only if there actually was something that created the universe. We don't know that to be the case. Making up answers doesn't help.
