My view is based on an Ancient Greek idea:  there are a limited number of ways that mathematics can be formulated.  This has no requirement for a creator.  Physics is based on Mathematics.  Therefore the Universe exists because Mathematics predicts it.  The Universe is Mathematics observing itself.

 

there is no difference between Mathematics and reality.  Separating the two is saying “reality is special”, in the same way as we used to think that the Earth was special.

How did mathematics predict it? Infinite time and randomness?

I like to think if it like a fractal.  The Mandelbrot set doesn’t have a creator, but somehow it exists...

 

this is the best answer I found at least :)
