I could create the concept of "flurgibernigits" but unless I actually engage in some action to bring flurgibernigits into existence then they don't actually exist as anything but an idea.
We all agree that nature actually exists, yes? So how did nature happen if all your god did was think of the idea of nature but didn't actually create anything?
Oh yes, I believe at some point He put something into motion. And from there just let things happen as they would, knowing what would come of it all. That's what I meant.
So...
Your god created a concept and then created the thing he conceptualized which then proceeded forward in time with matter organizing and ultimately forming gas clouds, galaxies, stars, planets, and humans who would build their homes in the shadows of geologically unstable hillsides, just as your god foresaw happening back in the conceptual phase... but he can't be held responsible for the death and destruction resulting from the inevitable landslide because he just came up with the concept?
I feel like that's like saying that I can conceptualize a 70-story building made entirely of dried spaghetti noodles, build it, lease the office space and then, when the building inevitably fails and the occupants unlucky enough to be in it at the time die, I can get off scot free because all I did was come up with the idea and build it. It's not ultimately my fault that the building I created killed people and I foresaw it happening, it was just the natural outcome of events. YAY! I can't get sued!
