Aside from the fact that having godly power doesn’t necessarily correlate well with an ease of understanding life-forms...
The universe less like a carefully painted mural in which humans and other life forms were mapped out in exquisite and intricate detail, and more like a big empty petri dish set in a warm spot billions of years ago. The underlying specifications for creating the universe seem to be pretty simple mathematically (a few laws and some low-entropy initial conditions). The complex part is just the intricate structures that have arisen over time.

Exactly. Which reminds me of the computational irreducibility of the universal cellular automaton a la Wolfram.
