You heard the argument. This question is very common among unbelievers, yet easy to answer. Nevertheless, I rarely find any well-known Christian author giving this particular response, "Because God deserved it." Rather the answer is usually a literally biblical one, "God created all things for His own glory." I don't find that a satisfying answer because people often struggle with the definition of 'glory'. Thus, I suggest simply using the solution I myself concluded, that is, "God looked at Himself and dealed with Himself righteously. The result: creation."
