Sure it could theorectically explain it. But not to the level of understanding that science provides when explaining a natural mechanism. My issue with invoking God is simply that every time God was invoked in the past it was shown through science that such an explanation was flawed and that natural mechanism work perfectly well without God. This creates a God of the gaps which is ever decreasing in size and influence. A deistic or pantheistic verson of God could exist but given the track record I certainly don't think that that will be the explanation. And even if it was, why should I worship or even care about a non-anthropic God?
I simply see no reason to believe in something that doesn't support its own burden of proof.
