a) like another posted mentioned, this is all assuming the universe hasn't always existed. Given what we know about energy, it seems unlikely that it hasn't always existed in some shape or form.
b) Why must a seperate entity have given the universe its purpose, if it has one? For example, what if a race of creatures within the universe went back in time and created it? I don't think the limitations which govern my actions would necessarily govern whatever may have created the universe.
