This is the classical argument of god serving only to fill the gaps in our knowledge, with the twist that this time the gaps also decrease in complexity.
Clearly this ‘explanation’ is not located in the same hypothesis space as the cosmological hypothesis: what are the consequences of a complexity-reducing god? The only one that could be worked out, namely the presence of intelligent beings, seems to be refuted by the evidence at hand: surely there are configuration of the universe which allow for the presence of much more sentient beings than the current one. To put it in another terms, if this kind of god loves sentient beings so much, why isn’t the universe filled with them?

Perhaps the sheer vastness of the universe and all that’s within it; glorifies god as much as the sentience does.
