I always thought that if God exists, then God must be practically indistinguishable from science, as far as we're concerned.

Because you can't tell me that any practically omnipotent being with a 50,000 IQ would deliberately choose to personally micromanage every cubic nanometer of the entire universe for every single Planck time of the duration of the entire universe that they're creating.

There's no way that they would!

As the old saying goes: Work smarter, not harder. This entity is going to create a series of clockwork laws for the universe to run by (physics), and then they're going to let set laws do their thing, and then they're going to stay out of the way.

Ergo, to me God and science would be (for all practical purposes) indistinguishable from each other if God exists, just based on how the universe would be started in the first place.
