First of all, the "God" I describe is not mine. What is it about a very
advanced civilization that your arrogance can't wrap your tiny brain
around?

I made NONE of those claims that you pulled out of your read-only-memory
brain.

Once again you refuse to understand what I wrote. What is it about an
"advanced civilization" that makes you nonsensically believe I'm talking
about only one?
Yes, I'm well aware of your argument concerning QM, although your meandering
explanation with weird head wobbles and pot-induced drowsy tone is quite
unfortunate.
What you have done is put up a straw man which in no way conforms with
what I described. God's "omniscience" is typical of many religions, but
what in the world makes you believe that a very advanced civilization
would have that characteristic?
And, BTW, the Judeo-Christian God is an emergent property of the universe
as demonstrated by their own scriptures. Present day Judaism and
Christianity "often" (as you say) agrees with your definition, but what
in the world makes you believe that "often" means "always"?
I had some conversations (many years ago) with a self-described atheist
who claimed that only one who has studied the subject extensively could
claim that title. IMHO, those who assert there is no God have not done
their homework. Physics has added much to our knowledge in the last
half century. BTW, I have an MS in physics, too, and I have continued
to study astrophysics, cosmology, relativity and QM. Again, IMHO, you
have put God in a box and have arrogantly refused to look outside of
the box.
