It's just a hypothesis.
So, such God exists by definition.
Don't forget the "and some more" part. That part has to be proven.

Now, we can talk about what God is like.

Can we say that the universe created itself? Can we say that the universe
designed itself? It all depends on what we mean by words like 'creation'
and 'design', doesn't it. Basically, who cares!
Next!

Does the universe love itself?
What on earth does that mean?
Let's skip the anthropomorphic nonsense.

Does the universe prefer life?
Now, that seems like an interesting question. Does it?
