The problem we are solving is the answer to the question "How do we get to the end of this universe?" As we don't know where it's headed, it's difficult for us to determine; but, for God, who can't help but know where the universe is headed, God simply act and we are a part of those actions that lead to the end. Yes, it's teleological, but space- time IS a teleological entity.
