To the pantheist, God literally is everything. This includes all matter, all laws of nature, anything that can be known, and the stuff that can't be known. God is not anything more than this. God isn't "the intelligence behind all of this." God just IS it.

I guess that might lead naturally to another question: why call a bunch of matter/energy/laws of nature (that are devoid of intentionality) "God"? But I'll hold off on answering that until somebody asks it, since you just wanted a simple clarification.
