Yes, the universe is amazing. But concluding that it must have been created by an intelligent deity leads to the obvious question of who created that deity. And if your answer is "he needed no creator," couldn't the same thing be said about the universe? The appearance of design doesn't mean it was designed. If gravity or the speed of light were any different, we wouldn't be here to marvel at it.
One way to look at it would be to think of all the countless matings between different people over the past few thousand years, where if any one were different, you would be a completely different person. But that doesn't mean there was some guiding force pushing each of your ancestors together with the goal of resulting in you. Those matings were all due to individual decisions made by each person with no overarching plan.
