"It is crazy to postulate a trillion (causally unconnected) universes to explain the features of one universe, when postulating one entity (God) will do the job."
1) The universe just exists - always has done.
2) What superior being created the Universe?
3) God created the Universe.
4) What superior being created God?
5) God just exists - always has done.
Apply Occam's Razor.
Statement 5 is the same as statement 1 - but raises more questions about the nature of this omnipotent God to add to those raised by the nature of the Universe.
Therefore statement 1 has less variables - and is more probable to be the correct answer.
