I think while technically an “atheist”, Trey Parker of South Park had a great observation..
“Basically... out of all the ridiculous religion stories which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous — the silliest one I’ve ever heard is, ‘Yeah... there’s this big giant universe and it’s expanding, it’s all gonna collapse on itself and we’re all just here just ‘cause... just ‘cause’. That, to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever.”

If Trey Parker can conflate order coming out of nothing with a Higher Being imposing Physical Law on a lower level of existence, then his ‘intellect’ is purely self serving.
