I don't. Personally I can't imagine who would want to, but that's just me.

To you, the answer is obviously "God did". An atheist would probably look to science for his/her answers. Either way, the question proves nothing.
I do hope you haven't deluded yourself into thinking that you're somehow a "free thinker". Trust me, the church doesn't encourage the hard questions. They just want a chance to indoctrinate you further.
