"Must" implies a lack of evidence, therefore it's an unreasonable assumption. One could just as easily say "Due to lack of proof, there "must" not be a creator". Both sides are weak. The question remains open, though good reasoning skills require us to err on the side of absence until we have proof.

Must doesn't imply this. If I find someone with a bloody knife, and a dead body in front of them, they "must" have killed them, yet we have reasonable evidence that they did.

however

The Universe (and hence the fundamental environment, location, state and parameters on which it depends) must be such as to admit the creations of observers within it at some stage indicating intended life.
