Actually, most Chrisitians don't think "God" is an old Man with a grey beard sitting in the clouds. That's just how he was depicted by some. In the Bible, he appears in many guises, but only in the very beginning does it reference his image (by stating he created Adam in his own image).
"God" is a label given by man. By whatever name you choose, if such a life force existed, then I would say having the power to create life trumps your shooting the pigs.
Ok. We can clone pigs. We can kill pigs. Thus we have the power to create and destroy pig life. Are we gods to pigs? No, of course not, that's totally illogical. I don't deny the POSSIBILITY of a incomprehensible lifeform floating around somewhere in the universe, but how is this the most rational explanation for creation? Yes, in the beginning there was nothing. Not even a single particle of matter or energy. In order for "god" to create the universe, he would have to exist. How does something exist in nothingness? Does "god" surpass all measurable reality? If so, doesn't that seem rather convenient for believers? Scientists have been beaten over the head with "you cant prove there's no god" for as long as scientists have been around. The real issue is never addressed. You cant PROVE he exists either, so how is assuming something completely illogical the FIRST assumption? You might as well assume that there is a huge ball of cotton candy in the center of the universe, and it has magical powers. It can create galaxies and everything was created by it.
