I think a more plausible explanation than god not being as powerful anymore is that he has seen what his creation is capable of and no longer cares about it. The fact that we haven't been wiped out yet points to the idea that there is no ever watchful, omnipotent father figure watching us.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
