The smartest people on this earth, the ones who explain our universe through objective reality rather than stories, write off the most important ideas of our reality. They know that every occurrence is adherent to confines. There are "laws of the universe". They explain phenomenons by working within these confines. Energy and matter follow all kinds of laws, but scientists spend all of their time discovering what can be done within these confines, rather than worrying about the laws themselves.
They don't worry about the laws of the universe because to them, they are a matter of fact.
You can't create energy, and you can't destroy it. Why is this an inherent truth? Because fuck it. It just is. There are many other confines that exist. If the "laws of the universe" were different, reality would be different, but all of our explanations would just be bound to these new confines, and we still would just take them as matter of fact.
This is why nothing can be explained. You can explain why things happen, but all of your explanations are predicated on working within confines. And nobody can explain why the confines exist.
Be religious because the ideas of order, inherent laws, and many other ideas mirror our understanding of the universe. Asking, "why did God create the universe if he already knew how it would play out" is like asking "Why do the laws of the universe exist if they do not stem from laws themselves".
Logically speaking, chaos makes more sense than order. Saying order is inherent makes no sense to me. And it's not like I haven't talked to really intelligent atheists about this for hours. They can not explain it either. It just turns to "Okay then you explain it with God".
If the universe was chaos, with no order, then everything would make sense. Nothing exists, yet everything exists. It makes sense that nothing makes sense, and it doesn't make sense that everything makes sense. No laws exist. Matter could just disappear, the universe could have never been created but exist simultaneously, there would be no logical dilemmas, and everything is a logical dilemma because logic exists and doesn't exist.
But no, we just exist within the confine of laws that do not change. Eternal truths. They are in plain sight but also invisible, and impossible to understand why they exist. That sounds like our understanding of what God is.
Clickbait title btw. But I do think believing in god because you hope life is fair is kind of dumb.
