To me, the whole idea of "cause and effect" is a consequence of (a) our perception of time and (b) conservation of mass/energy. If the laws of physics were different, would every effect require a cause?

My point is that our most basic axioms in logic are based on our observations of the world. Would 2 + 2 = 4 be a truism outside the laws of physics? I'm not sure. We've already discovered how wrong human intuition is about very small objects moving at very high speed. Outside the laws of physics, God might not need to be created.

Regardless, my proposed God would be undetectable, so there's really no point to discussing it other than fun speculation.
