the question we've all asked
What's your evidence for this supernatural intelligent being? Or for any supernatural being at all, for that matter? "It's too simple" is not a good enough reason to reject my hypothesis; in fact, it's actually a pretty good reason to adopt it. Remember Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is most often the correct one.

Things don't just self-assemble themselves into intelligent, thinking entities unless they have evolved through Darwinian natural selection (like dolphins and humans) or unless they have been deliberately created by something that evolved through Darwinian natural selection (like robots). Darwinian natural selection is the only way we can explain the existence of intelligence, the most complex thing we know of. It makes no sense to say that the universe started out with an infinite intelligence, which is infinitely complex, and to claim that that requires no explanation.
Where did this complexity come from? How did it arise? How did so many interlocking parts spontaneously come together to create this amazingly complex intelligence? If there is some intelligence behind the creation of the universe, what makes you think it was only one intelligent being? What discounts the possibility of a collaborative effort? And what discounts the possibility that the universe consists of only matter and energy moving around in spacetime according to the laws of physics?
