I see no reason that 'all universes' should not follow the same rules. Whatever the origin, it would have 'laws' also and would not generate anything different. Even if there were a god, it would be defined by a set of 'laws' allowing its existence. If there were a god and it were truly omnipotent, it should have been able to 'create' this universe without quarks, muons, etc.. As it did not, and if there were a god, obviously it was constrained within the parameters of its existence.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
