because rules are created by someone intelligent

everything has rules except the creator who is not bound by anything.

why can the universe create itself yet a castle in the desert can't?


Castles have been observed by humans to be created by humans. The same cannot be said for objects not made by humans.

Earlier you said "the rules of the universe do not apply to God as he is outside of this universe ." If that's the case, we can say before the universe was created, the rules also didn't apply. Therefore, before the universe was created, it would be possible for something to come from nothing. And if something could come from nothing, then the universe could have formed from nothing.
