Well, religion doesn't answer them either. It merely makes shit up and sells it to its adherents.
The Ancient Egyptians thought their gods invented the universe, too. There is little unique in your viewpoint.

The universe makes as much sense as we are currently able to understand it. We certainly understand it better than we did fifty years ago.
God did it simply is not a valid, logical explanation because there is absolutely no evidence to support the existence of your god.

Is it so hard really to live with the very large probability that we exist for no reason? Are you so full of yourself that you have to feel special in order for you to appreciate the amazing fact that we're alive?

The burden of proof is on you, poppet.

Then he would be a rather selfish, immature god unworthy of worship.

Sure, according to the bible, he has done it in the past. There is no reason he cannot do it now, unless he does not exist.

There is no evidence. All any theist has is faith, which is the veritable lack of evidence.

False, you are merely attributing everything to god because you are intellectually lazy and you want a readily easy answer to questions that we honestly do not yet have all the answers.

One can know your god as well as anyone can know a fictional character.
You are proof why God has to test mankind because not everyone is clearly worthy of entering His paradise and worthy of His mercy

Prove to me that your god exists. Otherwise, your statements are just silly drivel derived from a deluded mind.

Here's your god in action.
1 Sam. 15
Quote:Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember [that] which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid [wait] for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Fuck him!

I bet long ago theists were telling atheists: Well then, who do you think caused lightnings?
To continue with my analogy:
Theists: Electrons? Static electricity? Do you know how silly you sound right now? It's evidence for god but you just refuse to see it!

But, you! You insignificant little human being, you are so special! You know exactly what your god wants, so you are sure you'll enter paradise. But alas, you were wrong. The muslims were right, yeah, you gonna burn in hell with us. Welcome!
And btw, if heaven is to spend eternity with sanctimonious snobs like you, I'd rather go to hell.
