A Conversation about God, Evidence, and Teleology

The question then becomes, how exactly does God sustain the laws of nature? Does he move the planets directly in a way such that it accords with what we call gravity and general relativity? Or is he “one causal step away” by endowing the planets (or spacetime) with causal powers that allow them to independently behave in that way?

If it’s the latter, how could that be considered “sustaining”?
