You forgot to explain away "(or desire)" Most Theists believe that their God(s) have desires. I'm neither Theist nor Atheist. There is neither evidence of a creator nor is there evidence that there is no creator.

If the act of creating is a response to some need (or desire), and God is truly a perfect and whole being that exists beyond need, then the existence of a created universe is proof that God does not exist.

That’s clever, but it’s circular logic. You forgot to explain away “(or desire)” Most Theists believe that their God(s) have desires.

I’m neither Theist nor Atheist. There is neither evidence of a creator nor is there evidence that there is no creator.
