But be aware that the "landscape" is already a technical term in String Phenomenology where it is used for all possible sets of laws of physics which can arise from the superstring, without making reference to what concretely is going on in the respective universes.
The string theory people borrowed the term "landscape" from evolutionary biologists who used it to describe the set of all possible organism which could evolve. I'm just borrowing already borrowed goods.
To add theistic slant to this thread......just because you guys expect it and I don't want to disappoint you.....the fields are everywhere so they can be said to be omnipresent. The fields, it seems from this discussion, contain all that is knowable so they can be said to be omniscient. Anything that can happen, happens on these fields so in a sense they are omnipotent.
What this gets you is a definition of "god" which is synonymous with "the universe," and therefore superfluous.

How we got an asymmetry between matter and antimatter such that net protons remain, is the so-called question of baryogenesis. A famous russian guy, Sakharov, worked out the necessary preconditions for that to happen in the 60s or so.
Evidence that god had his thumb on the scale at the Big Bang.
