In the game dev example, the question is not 'what created the universe?', rather, 'what created what created the universe?' in a process of infinite referral. If you're a game dev, you already exist. If you're beyond time, where do you exist? What created that place beyond time where you are able to exist? If we're in the game, what created the game dev's world? Did the game dev?

Synthia in particular I'm pretty stubborn on. If you can create life from non-living things, that would mean, under the perfect conditions (the earth is constantly changing), life could be created without intervention from any external force. Synthia did not create itself, but has lead me to believe that theoretically it could create itself and that lead me to the conclusion that billions of years ago life did create itself.

God giving humanity the acknowledgement of his existence isn't a forced 'gift'. The fact that he's been supposedly mute to most people implies that he doesn't want to intervene in his own creation, which would make sense if you were running some kind of experiment, but at the same time he supposedly does intervene in his creation by granting certain people enlightenment of his existence and manipulating the world beyond time. Why would he do this? What's the end goal for the universe?
