"But they have no compunction, when considering life and/or "God", in jumping to the conclusion (but treating it as 'axiomatic') that God worked and thought primarily as an engineer. Why not a hacker, or even an artsy-fartsy "creative" type?" Because that image of God does not fit in with the 'Platonic ideal' of a God that has been put forward by Christians.

...the 'Platonic ideal' of a God that has been put forward by Christians. Which 'Christians'?
A 'poll' just out shows that Americans (US type, I guess) put 'god' into mostly one of four major categories.

Because that image of God does not fit in with the 'Platonic ideal' of a God that has been put forward by Christians. Not all of them. J.R.R. Tolkein has some interesting essays about creation and sub-creation.
