PLEASE go and study some astronomy and physics. Divine intervention is not needed and does NOT cause planets to orbit their suns. There's a little thing called gravity. Why believe in supernatural entities for which there is no evidence when it can be explained naturally?
God isn't necessary. Ever hear of Occam's razor?
Occam's razor was formulated by William of Occam (1285-1349) and says: "Non est ponenda pluralites sive necessitate" or in English: "Do not multiply entities unless necessarily". It is a principle for scientific labor which means that one should use a simple explanation with a few explanatory premises before a more complex one.
Let's say that everything must be created, and that was done by an omnipotent god. A god which stands above time, space, moral and existence, which is self containing and in it self has it's own cause. This entity can surely be replaced by the known world. The world stands above time, space, moral, existence, is self containing and in it has it's own meaning. Most theists agree that god has a nature. Then we must raise the question, who created god's nature? If we just accept that god has a nature and exists without a cause, why not say that the known world just is and that the laws of physics are what they are, without a cause?
God is not really an explanation, only a non-explanation. It is impossible to gain information from non-information so God as an explanation is a dead end. When we have said that the reason for something is that 'god did it that way' there is no way to understand it any further. We just shrug our shoulders and accept things as they are. To explain the unknown by god is only to explain how it happened, not why. If we are to investigate the world and build our views of life from the world, we cannot assume a god. Because adding god as an explanation leaves as many, if not more questions than it explains, god has to be removed with Occam's razor if we are serious in investigating the world.

I do believe there is a Supernatural being. The problem is, to prove there is anything supernatural, I have to show how it works, or where it is, or something about it that is natural.
People want a Supernatual God. If you could actually show them God, the wouldn't want Him because he's too ordinary, and real.
God is very real, and very active in our lives, in very ordinary ways. I have no doubt you've seen him. Why do people look to the clouds for God? He will return, in the same manner that he left...walking...

Yup. A couple of times. The most spectacular incident was when I got fired from a snowmobile resort in the Wyoming mountains, and as I returned to my old hometown from the mountains, my Cadillac broke down. I went to the nearest house, wishing I had not left my best winter coat in Minnesota, at my folks' place which is also in a fairly remote and obscure place. You'd have to be there to know how impossible this was----but here I went to a house in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming, wishing I had my coat which was in the middle of nowhere in Minnesota...ok? well The people in the house in Wyoming not only knew my folks in Minnesota, but had grown up with them, and were departing the NEXT DAY to go EXACTLY THERE, to Minnesota, to a funeral for someone who also knew my folks in Minnesota. And they gave me a ride there. It was about 8 miles from the place in Minnesota, on the way to where they were going. the next day. Coincidence? I guess it's possible, but I doubt it.

If it exists, it is natural, not supernatural. For centuries, people have personified Mother Earth, Mother Nature, in acknowledgment that we look to the feminine for creative and nurturing energies. But we also must look to the masculine for protection and guidance. So for me, the gods and goddesses are personifications of natural forces, natural laws, and not super (above) natural.

We are finding out with every new discovery that the universe is timed like a swiss watch. When I look in to the night sky, I see God's creation, not random chance and chaos.

I don't believe anything exists outside of the laws of Nature. But I am sure there are things that we have not explained yet that exist within Nature.
