Maybe God made the Big Bang so perfect He hasn't needed to intervene since.

While I appreciate the glib, Panglossian irony, elements of this statement work just fine for me.

While not exactly clockwork, the natural Universe does appear to run in a ratherly orderly fashion. Splashes of complexity, uncertainty, imperfection, and chaos keep things interesting.

If the Universe is 16 billion years old, what's that to God?

I don't think God needs to intervene in the ongoing material affairs of the Universe to keep things going, so I'll go along with the Big Bang being "perfect enough."

The ongoing spiritual affairs of man are another matter, but that shouldn't intrude much on a properly agnostic science.

In my capital-D Deistic moments--I'm a practicing agnostic most of the time--that's where I put God myself. He's clearly not running around violating the laws of His physics here, there, everywhere.

The bad news is that the more I argue with creationists, the more atheist I get. It's very disillusioning in that area, although there's enough to enjoy overall that I make a hobby of it.
