God created x, y, and z.  After that some stuff happened, maybe God did 
some fine tuning, but now we don't see that type of intervention because 
things are in motion and God cant' change them, or perhaps he's bored 
with this universe and working on another.

It's not really a non-sequitor, I just didn't explain my thought fully 
enough.
