I think there is an intelligence creator rather than an intelligent creator. The intelligence creator is not a thing, it is intelligence itself. It evolves eternally, without direction. It evolves randomly. What builds upon it continues. What cannot, does not. Life is simply another random branch of that process, as is the evolution of matter from energy. The essence of the universe is conceived in itself. It exists because it cannot not exist.
No need for multiverse. One is all.
