That doesn't actually follow. What would..if we assumed a god for the hell of it, is a god that simply preferred to do things in a manner indistinguishable from no god having done anything...regardless of whether it was omnipotent..whatever that means in the minds of the faithful at any given minute. That we find things as we would expect to find them in a thoroughly natural universe isn't evidence against a god, but it is a complete refutation of teleological arguments. Whatever reason those who offer such arguments might have for believing in a god, it isn't that particular ad hoc rationalization.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
