Default The first flaw in Sklanskyanity

The first logical objeciton I can see to your religion follows. I haven't bothered yet to think of others, and welcome them from other users.

Years ago, lightening wasn't understood. People thought it was caused by god. Now we better understand it and know better. Obviously there can be thousands of things plugged in in place of lightening: disease and the sun come to mind.

Merely because we don't understand the impetus for the creation of the current universe, I see no reason to introduce god in any form in a feeble attempt to explain what we don't understand. To do so is in clear violation of Ockham's razor.

The only use I see for the term is as a placeholder for whatever that cause was whether it was due to natural forces, a non onminpotent being from another dimension(like a scientist with an ant farm), the being you describe, or even the christian god.
