Is God the ultimate 'big boy'?

In Scotland there's a saying, when you are a child and wish to deny responsibility for a naughty act - "It wasn't me, a big boy did it and ran away". So my question is: is the concept of 'God' the ultimate terminus of that train of logic which leads the child to deny responsibility for their actions (and, similarly, when they can't explain the creation of the Universe, attribute such creation to God)?

Your thoughts, if you please....

    For some Insurance companies do that exact thing in their Act of God clause. For some it may be the case but the inference that God is the default answer when we can't come up with anything better is somewhat intellectually unsatisfying for me. If I am to say it was God there must be some factual basis for it even if it is only personal experience which I cannot prove to others or at least a mathematical probability based on facts and assumptions.

    ** Excellent joke on that other question btw.

    God is simply a concept we have come up with as a species to explain the things we can not understand... the unknown is very disturbing to most human beings who do not posses emotional discipline; with out emotional discipline rational thought becomes very difficult for a human

    To them, it all depends on if righteousness has been done or evil to determine which "Big Boy" did it.

    In the context of your question, yes.

    Hence all the trouble caused in "God's" name.
