Okay, but if the natural order is "systemic intelligence," and such intelligence is God, that's pantheism, whereas I'm talking about a theist's theodicy. The theist's God isn't just the height of intelligence since it's also the creative power that produced the natural order. This intelligence is supposed to live in a supernatural person who also cares about morality and justice, and this deity is supposed to have intervened in history to guide us to a better future.
