If God created this Universe and hence man then why did he create the nonbelievers and evil?

casue god is perfect, and thus he has to create everything physically and logically possible.
1- he has given you free will to believe or not to believe but there is also a judgment day where you will have to answer why you are a non-believer.
2- without evil you could never understand good. evil is the scale on which you can measure good. you need something to comare good with. otherwise good by itself doesn't have a meaning. a beautifull flower is nothing unless you know of a disgusting thing to compare it to.
it is all about the perfect balance between good and bad (from our prospective).
aother reason for evil is to test us and show us how valuable heavens is. if you lived your entire life in wealth you would never know how a poor person feels.
good/evil only exist in our prespective... otherwise god's creation is the only thing that IS, there is nothing outside of it to compare it with to say "ok that is good, so this creation is bad". so EVIL only exists in our view, not in the truth that is out there(the eye of the beholder..).
Another view:
The Bible says that God did not create non-believers and evil,
but that they definitely exist (Matthew 24:3-14)(2 Timothy 3:1-5)(Romans 8:22)(James 3:14-16) and tells us the reasons why:
God created ALL things perfectly. (Deuteronomy 32:4) The earth and our original parents, Adam and Eve, were created perfect and with free will (Genesis 1:31). If the human family had chosen to serve their loving God willingly and obediently, from the heart, there would BE no suffering and pain today. They and all their descendants would still be living FOREVER in perfect health and happiness on our perfect earth, serving the creator forever(Micah 6:8). If they chose to disobey, they would no longer be perfect, and would spread 'sin' to their descendants, who would then be subject to sickness and death (Genesis 2:15-17)
This is what happened, and this is how:
An angel, who CHOSE to turn against God, planted the thought that God was a liar, and that man did not need Him and could do better in life without God. Adam and Eve listened and CHOSE to turn away from God, to do things their own way (something for which we were not created(Jeremiah 10:23)). The wicked, suffering, divided world we have today is the result. (Romans 5:12) God has allowed time to pass, to show the error of this thinking and we see the results of disobedience and alienation from God all around us today. This angel, who started the first rebellion, was created perfectly, like all the others, but used his 'free will' to turn against his creator. We don't even know his name, just his title: "Satan"(which means 'opposer')the "devil"(which means 'slanderer').
But God did not just forget us...
After the disobedience of the original couple, God immediately set a plan in motion. (Genesis 3:15) Recognizing that there would be many throughout history who were honest hearted and longed to worship God the way he required, he sent his son, Jesus, to 'buy back' or 'ransom' faithful mankind who were willing to learn about him and live according to his standards (John 3:16-18) (John 17:3).
In God's own time, he will END all suffering here on earth, and will fulfill his original purpose to bring about a perfect world populated with perfect people ,as promised in the Lord's Prayer at Matthew 6:10"...thy kingdom come, thy will be done on EARTH as it is in heaven." (Revelation 21:4) (Micah 4:3&4)(Isaiah 45:18)(Psalms 37:10, 11, 29) (Isaiah 55:10&11) (Proverbs 2:21&22)(Acts 17:26)

What are the various theories about the universe and its existence?
You have asked an extremely broad question, because there are countless theories about the universe and its existence. I will mention some of them. 1. The universe exists because God created it, which He did for reasons which may be difficult for the limited human intellect to comprehend. 2. The existence of the universe is entirely accidental, and is the result of quantum fluctuation. Since the vacuum can give rise to virtual particles, perhaps it can also give rise to an entire universe, given enough time in which to do so. 3. The universe doesn't really exist, you just think it does. 4. The universe has always existed, hence, there is no point in time when it was created, either by a deity or by accident. The reason why the universe has always existed is not known.
Did man create God?
No. God created man (and woman:) Genesis 1:26-28 No, The cosmological argument is clear: God must exist or else the universe could not. So, even if people create a system of worship, God (ie. the creator of the universe) has to exist, and has to pre- date Man. Further more, to be an unmoved mover, God cannot be created. It is therefore imposible for anything, least of all humanity, to create God.
Is all of God's creation bigger than our universe?
In questions of theology, all answers are highly debatable. In this case, I could easily argue that God's creation includes not only the universe in which we presently are living, but also the afterlife of Heaven and Hell, hence, his creation is indeed bigger than a universe. And who knows what else God may have created. He doesn't necessarily tell us everything. For all I know He also created a million other universes about which we know nothing.

What does it mean when you say that the universe is below the critical density?
If the universe is ever to stop expanding and start contracting there has to be a certain amount of material (mass). This amount is called the 'critical density'. So far as is known to date the universe does not have sufficient mass to stop expanding, hence it is below the critical density.
Did Islams believe that god created the world?
The universe, according to Islam, is created and originated by God. He is the sovereign in the universe who both expands and terminates it in his apportioned time. Hence, all the laws (sunan ar.) that pervade the universe are under His hegemony. If He should so will, he may terminate the effect of those laws- though they are invariant and unchanging. Existence is an orderly cosmos and not a chaos. The Qur`an continually enjoins people to reflect on and discover nature and the universe. Although the scientific spirit has receded in the later ages of Islam, it is very positively depicted in the Qur'an; nevertheless, it is a scientific spirit that repudiates paganism and that portrays the world as being a manifestation of Divine sovereignty: To quote from the Qur'an: "May He be glorified, for whatever is in the heavens and the earth is His, all are submissive to Him." (2:116)
