Dear Christians: What does your god actually do?

Fundamentalists, though . . . 
When I was a little girl, my parents told me that God brought the animals from all over the world.  He had angels carry them.  Then when they got on the boat (that had to have been a HUGE boat!) he put the animals into a deep sleep.  They did not need to be fed or cleaned up after - - when the ark hit land, they magically awoke, and the angels distributed them.   If you were to suggest to my Mother, today, that the ark was not seaworthy, she would just shrug and say that God would have MADE it be seaworthy.

Ask enough questions, and eventually you end up with "by magic". Which always makes me wonder what's with the laborious methods when magic is on the menu.
