The trouble for theistic gods isn't the properties the universe does have, but the properties it doesn't which theistic gods purportedly do.
Energy, for example, is not personal or intervening (so it doesn't really matter whether or not it's eternal). The categorical markers of theistic belief by definition. Your capitalization of god, and your discussion of deity, are running all over your pantheism, which doesn't include either thing. Are you familiar with the concept of a religion of nature? The idea that nature itself, without god, gods, God or animating spirits of any kind is metaphysically ultimate and the proper object of religious reverence. How close to your own beliefs do you find that idea?
