if there is one
we don't know what it is,

Science has done a good job of explaining how organinc life (and hence ourselves) came to be in existence on this planet i fail to see at what stage in the process a deity clicked his fingers and created life, since all the steps involved don't require any magical input and they can happen on their own.

However there is yet to be any major consensus on what happened prior to the big bang, so the another being casuing the event, can't be logically disproven, not with current knowledge anyway. Although if this "god" did exist, i severly doubt that it is even close to any of incarnations of god(s) that have been developed by mankind, and i severley doubt that this being has any divine plan for us, or even any active input in the workings of the world!

God/religion as we know it is just a system of social management born out of an understanding of the world based soley on what can be observed with the naked eye. What most relgions teach about generalties are of life are fine, and most people seem to get on well regardless of religion or lack of. It's when you get the dawkins on one side and hamzas or Hovinds on the other it just drives a wedge between people who otherwise would have not cared!

apols for length, but you are very right the subject is infinitly improbable!
