In order to determine what things would be like if there were a god, you'd have to set some parameters as to what that particular god is like. For example, if there were a god that wanted to universe to appear exactly the way it would if there WERE no god, we couldn't tell. Then, one could postulate a god with a fetish for having only blue-leafed plants. Clearly a god like that doesn't exist.
The way you worded your question boils down to 'What would things be like if they were different?' See what I'm getting at? Your question - as asked - is just too impossibly broad to answer.

lol, I don't dislike you. You can ask questions however you like. But - be fair - if the question is ambiguous or overly broad, you can't reasonably expect an answer, can you?
