So many people have a problem with the idea that God is in and is able to be in complete control of EVERY minute details of the universe, and yet we know that it's all being held together by His power.

As for Him controlling the details of our lives,.....

Psalm 139:13-18 13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.

Acts 17:24-27 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.

26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. 27 God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

God is the ultimate micromanager and not only is He capable of it, He cares enough for His creation to DO it.

I believe God knows every detail of our lives but does not control them.

Psalm 139:13-18 13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

Your interpretation actually lessens Gods capabilities as a creator if he has to actively be involved with fetal development

God is the ultimate micromanager and not only is He capable of it, He cares enough for His creation to DO it.

He could be if he chooses to but I believe he chooses not to which is why he gave us free will.
