You are exactly right. God helps those who help themselves.
It is a very small stone's throw to deduce that it is man who is doing it all. God just conveniently gets some credit if things work out well.
So which part is God doing? Short answer. Nothing. Man is God.
Not correct in conclusion (if serious).
Man is a species which has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years. He is as much a product of evolution as any species. However, no evidence supports a conclusion “Man is God.”
And no evidence has been established for any of the many, many God claims.
The geography of the earth is constantly changing. But the change is over far longer periods of time that a human life-time. Since the earth is 4.7 billion years old, it has undergone continuous change over time. Until the present, man has had little to do with it.
Now with more than 6 billion people living on earth, the behavior of man is altering the earth – particularly its climate.
(If you’re joking, just disregard this.)
