If you run a social experiment, you set boundries and once these boundries are set, you do not change the boundries or intefere in the experiment in any way. I'd imagine that if there is a god, he created the universe and just let it be.
From a scientific point of view, there is a theoretical particle called the Higgs Boson, and this particle explains where every particle got its mass from, and so basically explains the origin of anything and everything.
It has never been discovered, but I think this is the closest thing we have to a god. The whole of existence attributed to a single particle.
If you explain this to a deeply religious person, they would probably say that the Higgs Boson doesn't explain
why we are here, just
how, and that maybe god created the Higgs Boson which lead to the universe.
However, this still doesn't explain who created the creator.
