To me taking God out of the equation makes little sense.
I see it as making a house of cards. Where are you going to build your house if not in a stable flat surface and at the same time, able to withstand the same house? If it`s not stable the house will fall; if it`s not strong the house will crumble.
Now, looking at the process of the creation there are some things you are going to see.
If you try building it without a "vision" (intelligence) of the whole it will end up crumbling down because it will lose it`s balance or coherence. It`s like juggling balls: do you juggle them in a pattern or randomly?
During this process of building it ends up getting bigger and bigger, so, it`s support also needs to be continuously bigger and stronger, right? Needs to be above it.
If this was said about the universe, how could we begin and still exist without life - it being the support of all? Life is since creation, not after. LIfe is our surface. And we, things in the universe, cannot create it by ourselves, can we?
We can create some sort of life but it`s just temporary and the life we are part of never stopped being.
Maybe i could have explained it better but in the end what matters is the underlying message.
