Regarding creation, the first and second laws of thermodynamics show that energy isn't created or destroyed in a closed system (which the universe without God is supposed to be) and that energy is becoming more and more unusable due to entropy. Since spontaneous generation has been ruled out, the only options are that the universe is eternal, which would mean that all energy should be used up by now, or that it was created (had a beginning). The entropy that exists shows disorder from order, or chaos from order, as usable energy is used up. Even a temporary ordering will eventually result in disorder.
