At least mine is simple. Except maybe for the existence of whatever place where the entity found the cherry bomb. And then, there's the cherry bomb, itself. Where did that come from? But, all creation myths have that kind of issue. Where was that Old Testament deity standing when he spoke the universe into existence? It's always an issue with creation stories.

So, mine's as good as any, I think.
