I think the creation followers think that the big bang is something like throwing a handfull of paper clips into the air and looking for order when they land.
Is God the guy who clips the paperclips into chains?
Is it really like throwing a handful of magnetized paperclips into the air and looking for clusters when they land?
Did it take God to magnetize them?

I think we observe order and call the organizing principle "God." But this "God" might well be a totally naturalistic process, and not a supernatural being.

God didn't throw out the paperclips at all. he placed each one int the appropriate place to for the chain.
First off, yes, I believe God created order. I'm a big advocate of Intelligent Design, which essentially agrees that the earth is probably about 4.5 billion years old, and that life started out as simple organisms that grew into more complex forms of life, but that God was the orchestrator at every point. It makes a lot of sense, considering how many exact details of our entire existence have to be the way they are for us to live. We can start big with the fact that if Saturn and Jupiter didn't have the proper allignment in the solar system, Earth would e constantly thrashed by meteor activity, ad if the earth's orbit was moved closer or further from the sun (within a quarter mile) the environmet wouldn't be able to support humans.

Well that's under the presumption, the point I think your making, that the Big Bang happened. I think that the Bible is more likely, that God created the earth and then stretched out the heavens. That would explain the light that has already arrived, the dopplar shift, the age of the universe and all we see in creation.
That makes the most sense to me.

DID, Past tense here, and yes. So much order in fact that we see chaos. Also, creation would not have been that random. One teacher of mine said the creation of the universe had to be something like hitting a nickel-type target with a baseball about two football fields away dead in the center. How random is that?
How unskilled is that? My suggestion is you stop trying to parallel certain zealots with the creation/creator of Existance.

It's more like, he made the paper clips and the magnetic field and how it operates. He has also made the law that allows complexity and chance in the outcome. Yes, God created order.

God created everything. Without God there would be nothing. God created the Devil, you and me. God is eternal, lasting before time and never ending. Man has no concept of eternal nor anything yet unseen. There are many things man has yet to observe in the universe. God is beyond what man can observe. Man will never be God.

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.

God is a being of obedience. He is subject to the order of natural laws. If He were to violate them He would no longer be God. God uses natural laws to order the Universe and it's parts to create what is natural.

God creates order, and mankind, through sin and disobedience, created disorder.
