I don't think any good philosopher would admit to the embarrassment of actually having "proved" something!
Jokes aside, you wouldn't consider "sustaining the world" to be a fairly meaningful ongoing interaction?

Very pragmatic! Assume there is a God - what kind of things would he consider "useful"?
