The word 'God' is more of an exclamation than a proper name.  It expresses astonishment, reverence, and even love for our reality.  If you want to put a human face on it, that will do - if you do not take it literally - since we know nothing higher or more mysterious than people, and an energy field which peoples can hardly be less intelligent than people.  Certainly events happen in the field which seem absolutely horrible, but faith is the gamble that there is some way of understanding or at least accepting them.
