Jainism

I remember (reading? listening?) to an MIT population biologist who pointed out that given the rates of pregnancy failure, infant and maternal mortality, a primitive culture pretty much had to keep its females permanently pregnant in order to break even. Hence the concentration on fertility gods. It wasn't just for fun. If you didn't stay busy, your culture died out.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
