Well, such is an interpretation of an old God hypothesis of unknown provenance.
Certainly written billions of years after the moment of creation, by an evolved life form that came to be known as man.
Thistles and thorns and plants of the field sounds much later European to me.
And extreme weather and flood events are not uncommon and are readily and dramatically recorded, especially when there is little clue as to why such things happen.
Humans have a known propensity for not quite remembering events accurately, whilst at the same time adding inaccurate drama to those events.
None of it worthy of the intellect of an omni-sensible, omniscient GOD/Universal creator.
