The tweaker God
Any god that has to tinker with its creation to get it going in the direction it wants seems inferior to me.
This may well be going badly off-topic but...
I personally have no problem with a God that might sometimes adjust the parameters of his/her/its experiment. God thinks - "Well, this evolution experiment is interesting, but I wonder what would happen if I here influence the pathway a bit?"
Maybe some sort of theistic evolution topic might be spun off this thing. Me, I'm too lame of a writer to pull it off.
