Why do Creationists/ID’ers/cdesign proponentists seem to believe in such a weak and powerless God?

Actually, it appears that the ones who believe in the weak and powerless God are the ones who keep stating that God created everything and then let evolution take over, as if He couldn't manage it Himself.

Creationists believe in a powerful God who holds everything together.

Col 1:16 & 17 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-- all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

Doesn't sound like a weak and powerless God to me.

Why do evolutionists try so hard to portray God in that light? Every effort of theirs is to degrade God that way. "Incompetent design* and other derogatory remarks as if they're better than God. It seems that evos want nothing more than to drag God down to a level where they can say that they're better than Him.

Do you think those who posit that the heavens need a divine hand to move the stars and planets believe in a strong or a weak God? Sure God has the power to push planets and stars around, but it seems he would rather they moved about by natural forces. It is not that God couldn't manage Evolution HIMSELF, it is that it is not necessary that HE do so.

Incompetent Design IS a slur upon God, made by cdesign proponentists who posit that the design of God is a rather shoddy affair that needs constant tinkering to keep up the edifice. THAT is a weak and incompetent deity, not the God that I know and worship.
