Using your domino theory, none. The only significant event was the tipping of the first domino. All the rest fell in reaction to the actions of the domino before it in line. It is not volitional. The only cause for each subsequent falling domino is the fact that the one before it fell. So unless a god caused the first domino to fall, there is no need to suppose any godly action in tipping any of the rest of them.
1) Assuming a first domino means you believe that domino came from nothing. Infinite regression is far more believable than something coming from nothing.

2) There is also no reason to suppose that a god was impossible. Given an infinite number of dominoes, why would a god not emerge as part of that chain of dominoes?


Do all things with love.
