As I wrote above in this thread, I agree that there’s not any clear way that the existence of God could solve this problem.
[Note: I took out several big chunks about how religions address this problem, but I understand people here don’t want to hear about religion discussed in a positive light. But the relevant bit:]

The God meme acts as a curiosity stopper; it says that these external features really do exist, but you’re too stupid to understand all the details, so don’t bother thinking about it.
And this seems exactly right. Without the God meme telling me that it all works out somehow—for example, somehow the subjective/object value problem works out—I’m left in a confused state.
