You're almost there, OP.
Why does "the universe" require a creator?
We now understand plate tectonics to a large degree, and no longer believe that volcanos, earthquakes or tsunamis are devine punishments.
Scale up.
Because we don't yet have a complete understanding of the universe, does that impose the requirement of supernatural intervention, or as you suggest, creation?
Your rationale seems to imply the "god of the gaps" fallacy. You can't relate to or describe god, no one can yet *fully* describe the universe, but *something/someone* had to have made it happen. It can not have been nothing more than a chemical reaction.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_the_gapsI can't relate to a god because I can see the evidence of chemistry at work, while any evidence of a god "toying" with the universe is nil. A famous (or infamous for some) question in return:
Who created the creator?
