immanentism might be the word that best defines my worldview . Creative laws are being applied again and again. The creator is just that, a worker. Remember, -creation has done quite well without us discovering the details of it now, and that knowledge might instill the illusion in some, that understanding somehow eliminated the creative process to have happened in the first place. Our great science achievements can make us blase^ or deepen our awe and gratitude. imho.
Intelligent design thought.

I don't find that anything in science makes the world around me less interesting. It's actually fascinating, and quite moreso than philosophizing about a personified creator. Especially if you then have to backtrack that personification and say the creator is shapeless, timeless, and positionless.

I agree, throughout my long life, i am ~ 86 % through my normal family life expectancy, I have truly enjoyed being close to nature's forces, involved in creating novelty and family life. so, reaching beyond that, is icing on the cake, and normal; about details:
To me, the creator would not be totally shapeless, because his size would always exceed that of the spacetime universe we inhabit. not time less, au contraire, he has all the time in, and outside the world, whereas we at any given moment inhabit only an edge, or point of it. and not positionless, because having created the universe, his position would then have been outside that point, and still be, at minimum, outside the limit of the expansion; any inside "position" would limit him to fit into our confines. so, yes, knowing some science makes the juicy human experience even richer.
