So is the God a God of the whole galaxy or just part of the galaxy? Does it go beyond galaxy and God is God of the whole galactic cluster? Or the believers believe that God is in charge of all the galaxies? I mean that is a lot of galaxies, stars, planets, and whatnot.
And if God is God of the whole universe is it just this universe or is he God of all other universes, or each universe has its own God?
Psalm 82 mentions how God has meetings with other gods so we see some division of power, perhaps gods of other galaxies or universes?
God is the authority of creation as far reaching as that extends. to some it means the cosmos, to other all of time and space and other still to a multiverse. psalms 82 is a taunting rhyme in the hebrew that displays the knowledge and power of God to be smarter and stronger than what others worship. Remember psalms is not law. just a book of praises chants and songs. while there is truth in them it is not all foundational/literal.
Damn, that's nearly coherent. You feeling okay?

The first type of god is indistinguishable from saying "the universe has laws". It is far better to learn those laws than to pray to the universe.
The second type of god must be incompetent or evil, because it's done a terrible job.
He is a sustainer of the laws of nature and also active in changing the outcomes of nature. Obviously the Bible describes supernatural events; that doesn't mean God excludes Himself from running things naturally as well.
Too often people put God in a box that says He must be this or that. He can be whatever He wishes, whenever He wishes.
And your insinuation that God must be incompetent or evil is based on a misunderstanding of why we're here and how He uses evil to accomplish good. Again, it's putting God into a box. You're saying that just because He doesn't behave according to your understanding of how He should behave, then He must be this or that.
It's a common problem, not sure why but my guess is that people like to pretend as if they have all the answers or are capable of discovering them on their own because they like to feel in control.

Just to add some actual thoughts, MilesAbbott81.
IF your diety is SO mysterious and who's motives are so incomprehensible then.....
Why give said deity and thoughts or time of day? 
Not at work.
