This is just one of those questions nobody can answer. We can all have our own opinions. I dont know but i just think that God and the Universe are very powerful and I would love to know what lies in the whole of the universe. I guess i will know when the time comes.

Excellent question!
That is because God is pure goodness and goodness by its nature tends to diffuse itself.
God created humans and angels so that they could share in the infinite happiness that is His from all eternity.
He did this from a motive of selfless love.
However, there is so much evil and suffering in the world.
That is because some of the beings that He created, having free-will, rebelled against Him.
Defiance of God, bringing pain, is not God punishing us, but is simply a description of what disunion with God entails.
For example, if you rebel against the laws of biology and eat ground glass instead of food, there will be terrible consequences. It is not a matter of anyone inflicting punishment.
It is possible for the rational beings that He created to rebel, because our union with Him is meant to be one of friendship, and friendship must be entered into freely.
But to be free to unite to God in doing His will, it entails the possibility of choosing the other way. That choosing the other way is essentially sin.
Lucifer and Adam rebelled.
A portion of the angels, in following Lucifer rebelled.
And us humans, rebel all the time with our sins.
But God wishes us to struggle against sin and be sanctified, so that we eventually join Him in the happiness of heaven.
But it is possible for any one of us to definitively turn our backs on Him, and go into the outer darkness. That is eternal damnation.
But it is ultimately our choice.

In as much as I was not around to see how everything came into being (and neither were you),I say, "I don't know ..... YET!" To assume that some god, my less than intellectual ancestors made up, instantaneously farted the universe into being, is absurd

There is no proof that God actually did great the universe so therefore this question is not able to be answered.

God is the Creator of all worlds and creatures visible and invisible.
His purpose is for the rational beings to know Him and to worship Him.
