In fact, if God did intervene in any intelligent way, it would throw red flags up everywhere.
Exactly this. I've often said that I don't believe a god as usually defined can possibly exist in a universe like this. There may be some kind of generic god-like entities similar to Star Trek's Apollo, Q, or the animated Lucien from Megas-Tu, but they are only established to be god-like by contrast to the rest of the Universe which operates perfectly naturally.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
