I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist.

No, the existence of the universe is not evidence for a creator.

The existence of the universe is evidence that a universe exists, nothing more.

How it came about may be worked out through physics and cosmology, which is a work in progress and there are no conclusions.

There are any number of possibilities. The fact is, there being no conclusions, we don't know. The universe may be cyclic, a part of a greater system, etc.
