I honestly don't care where the universe came from all I know for sure is the concept of God is a horrible place holder for our lack of understanding because it implies we shouldn't even wonder and THINK for ourselves to answer the boldest questions that bewilder us.
Think where we would be today if the concept of God remained the answer to the millions of mysteries that one by one people figured out because they didn't believe "God" was the answer!

In some ways I agree. To say that God did all this is to say nothing, except that we don’t know. That is because no one can define or understand God.
There are various concepts of God, and most of them are senseless and boring. Others intrigue me greatly. For example, Max Planck spoke of “universal awareness, the matrix of all matter”. I suppose you could associate that with God. It would be just semantics.
I’m not sure if the question about where the universe came from is meaningful, based on our space/time/matter model as it is. What I care about is the experience of conscious awareness, a profound and exciting mystery.
