Atheists, the universe is so fu̾ckin' mysterious.
Yes.
It is also full of so many intricate laws and mathematics.
Kind of but no. The universe is not full of laws and mathematics. It is full of relations and interactions. We use laws and mathematics to describe how those relations and interactions work.
I'm not saying it HAS to be the biblical God but doesn't there have to be some force or being that transcends this universe?
Nope. That’s just your teleological reasoning spooking you. You cannot imagine how it just could have happened, so you assign it to an unknown cause and ascribe intelligence or force to that unknown cause. And you’re not comfortable with not knowing the actual cause, so you convince yourself that your “force or being” is the only conceivable origin.

This, of course, has no relevance to what actually happened, because it is you who constructed that cause in your mind.

In reality, the actual cause or origin is simply unknown.
