yrger Have you considered things from god’s point of view ? As I said before , too much is impractical for a conscience, intelligent creator.
Look at some of the characteristics usually attributed to god.
God is a spiritual being. He is eternal. He created the universe, and us. We were made in his image. He is the source of good and morality. He is love, and he will judge us for our sins after death. Etc
1) if god was , before creation, the only living being in existence. The only sensation he could possibly have would have to be self awareness. He would have no one and nothing else to respond to. The concept of love, and morality would be unknowable .
If god some how discovered he had the ability to create something outside his own ego. He would need a working model to base it on. Why create a material universe completely alien ? Why not stick with what you do know and make a spiritual universe ? This also brings up the question, why would god have human features ? What use are eyes, ears, mouth, hands , legs , feet ? To god. There’s nothing to see, hear, taste, say, hold , or walk to. He hasn’t created anything yet. If he kept everything on the spiritual side. There would be no need for these features either. We would not need air, light, water, heat. And we wouldn’t need to kill other creatures to stay alive ourselves.
All this is just some of the problems to address before starting creation. Assuming god has some plan in mind , once it happens.
Once he got things going, you have to wonder why , he took so much time getting things going. It took a Hell of a lot of time for stars and planets to form. If god can create thorough sheer will power, than the process should have been immediate. He has no reason to wait, even if time has no meaning for him. The Devil is in the details. Anyway, once he’s got the living quarters established. The next project would be life. He starts at the molecular level. And let’s evolution do the work for him . Again, why wait ?
If god is in control, it wouldn’t have to be so complicated. An intelligent god, could have just set up everything the way he wanted, right at the onset. Obviously all of god’s human interest and qualities were manufactured by humans, and not the other way around. Reality is simply too unrealistic for a loving gong to have made it.
