1. I agree that Onan's sin was not giving his dead brother an hier... however the reason that was important was to keep a dwindling population up... Therefore in spilling his seed instead of giving his (dead) brother an hier he was breaking the rules...
Ultimately he would be accused of failing to obey God but in truth he was just breaking religious law... (more or less the same thing if you believe the priest speak for God).
2. Let's let the world is flat argument die. It is a pointless argument in the context of this discussion.
3. There is no need to have God to explain the unexplainable. It is just something we haven't figured out yet. However, if it makes you feel better to have the unexplained explained by God... knock yourself out! I just don't need it.
