I was always told we should be thanking him every day for the fact that he put everything in motion, as well as some people believing people get pregnant because god wants them to get pregnant. Thus I'm alive more because god wanted it to happen, not so much that my parents had sex.
I started questioning this back when I heard the story about the mother hen making food for her chicks, and asking the neighbors for help. They wouldn't help make the food, but they still wanted to eat some of it. People work to make food, and ship it to stores, so people like me can buy it, but we're supposed to than Jesus for the fact that we're able to eat.
Even if he did get the world started, we're the ones who have to work to survive. Unless I see manna falling from heaven, I'd rather thank other people for my food. I thanks the farmer for my bread and vegetables, the rancher for my chicken, the truckers for bringing the food to the store, and the people running the store for my food. They thank my for my money.
