The size of the Universe

Looking at simple mechanisms and saying that they evolved over millions of years is one thing. It is difficult to prove this statement one way or the other. As one looks at more complex entities and uses examples in the animal kingdom and mankind itself, it becomes more and more difficult to accept that these are the products of a random process.

The universe itself is huge beyond the ability of most minds to grasp the immenseness of it all. The Hubble telescope has been a fantastic device, designed and built to show us a glimpse of the size of the universe.
The universe is simply too big to have started by random chance!
Can anything actually evolve whilst obeying the natural laws that are already in place that dictate how the growth will happen?

Is it conceivable that the mass of the universe evolved out of nothing? It doesn't sound any different to me than any religion that has a Creator. Acknowledging that the existence of the Universe came from a process rather than an entity is just semantics.

the Universe is immense

These few galaxies contain billions of stars and are an unimaginable distance from us. Yet they are part of this immensely complex universe which apparantly evolved by pure chance! If there was a creator, could they have done anything bigger or better than what actually exists?
