Is God Indifferent?
Your original question didn’t state that you were looking for a scientific explanation. What do you call a scientific explanation anyway? What’s the basis for why a scientific explanation is more reliable than a common sense explanation based on inference? “who is making all the design related decisions e g which animal will look like what and which flower will have what colors?” This explanation is far from scientific – there’s plenty of science out there that concludes that there are no design decisions required – things in this universe are simply evolving based on the laws of physics. “without God’s role as the designer and innovator, the mass, the energy and the natural laws of the universe can’t produce anything” The conclusion that you draw is correct, however, I don’t think that you have really looked into the physicalist explanations of the universe in much detail. They explain all of it without God – it’s another story that their explanation has gaps and is based on conjecture.
