Um, OK.  I think an awful lot of religious nuts think God is actively 
intervening, tho.

I had another thought, tho...   People say "the universe was created, and 
thus needs a creator."  But what makes people think the universe hasn't been 
around forever?

Sure, it started 14 billion years ago, but that's 14 billion of *our* years. 
Time slows in a high gravity field, and squishing an entire universe into 
one dot is definitely going to give you a high gravity field, so maybe the 
first 10^-43 seconds of the universe lasted forever.
