When the last believer stops believing, God disappears in a puff of smoke.
So God is really just Tinkerbell!?

In perspective, if you look at the whole picture, then everything is created by god, from the flood to the laws of the universe.. If through these laws and facts we come by an explenation of what happened with the flood, that it might not have been god "directly" in charge of it, but an accumulation of events.. Then dont worry, because the basis behind those events were still created by god.. Which means that the totallity is still gods doing .. Perhaps even purposely so..
well, don't forget, these guys are the crowd that says that evolution (a natural process) negates god's action in creation. if it works for evolution, why not the flood? how is a natural flood evidence of the involvement of a supernatural entity?
So in perspective, your not taking god out of the picture.. Your just putting him in the bigger picture
i have no argument with this view. i am a theistic evolutionist, myself.

Sounds like a variation on The Nine Billion Names of God.
sounds more like the explanation of the babelfish from h2g2.
