first, it's not ad hoc. second, ad hoc is not necessarily a fallacy. the reason it's not ad hoc is because i'm not really adding or changing anything to the claims of the bible. though he did say many people attribute natural events to gods, that doesn't specifically target Christianity. the original proposition is God created the universe. he claimed the universe self sustains itself, and I claim that's because that's how he created it. I added to the explanation of the claim, but not the claim itself.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
