so it needs God to create the particles and assemble them into everything, making up the material/physical universe
No it doesn’t. If god doesn’t need anything to make him, neither does the universe. You haven’t explained the double standards. What did god used to make to create the particles ? He’s a spirit. How can he manipulate them into a physical form, when he doesn’t have one himself ? And if he has the power to create, why didn’t he create after his own kind , like all the life forms do ? A physical universe would be the complete opposite to his own non physical existence. Factor in all the time it took for abiogenesis and evolution, and you’re talking billions of years before a suitable environment. Which would also have no meaning to a spirit.
Nope. Just doesn’t work. Too impractical for a god. After all, according to you it was just an art project. Why wait, when there’s no one to impress ?
