God is eternally preexisting, nonmaterial, above and beyond time,

If he's beyond time, on what stage or background does he do anything?

God conceived of all created things before they came into being.

 How could we test this claim?

God spoke and there was...spacetime, matter, energy.

More likely those things have just always existed, the same as this
supposed god called God that you're talking about.

God created the initial low entropy state of the universe.

Could it have been the Flying Spaghetti Monster that created this low
entropy start for the universe?

God designed physics, the periodic table, etc, as building blocks
capable of being fashioned into all created things.

What about those useless high-mass elements found further on in the
periodic table?

God designed all living things and spoke them into being,

Would it be possible to catch God in the act of speaking things into
being?

either
directly, or indirectly through innate capacity for change and adaptation.

How does this indirect creation relate to universal common descent of
all living things?

Etc.

Like what?
