What makes you think this is the only universe? There may be an infinity of universes, each one created by another god. Ever think of that?
have a look at the "There is no God because my evidence says.........." thread in sprituality forum.

The universe , the whole of nature has emerged out of that whole;
The universe too is the complete whole in itself;
After this (universe) wholeness is taken out of that (Supreme God's) wholeness;
That complete entity (the God) still remains a complete whole as before;
.....That's the vedantic concept of God. It is akin to the concept of infinity of mathematics. Infinity minus infinity is still infinity.

Complete the above sentence with as many questions as you can to point out the discrepancies in the premise of ONE GOD.
Let the believers (theists) answer the WHY's.........
You can't prove me wrong, for, I am never wrong.
