Neither do I, but I guess we'll have to take that up with Einstein, and last I checked, he wasn't taking any calls.

The universe is a mysterious place, and I'm no expert on the nature of Ultimate Reality. Did a Supreme Being set the rules in motion? I have no idea, but the answers to such questions are outside the realm of current science. Even assuming (and I see no reason to) that there is a Supreme Intelligence behind the veil, that doesn't answer the question of how it came to be, how it works, and how it evolved to what we see about us today. God or no god, here's still plenty of work for the scientists and philosophers.
