Genesis from God's POV [Spirituality & Religion]
This, as far as I can tell, is God's thought process during the events of Genesis.
"I'm bored. I'll make a universe. Lots of stars here, here, and here, and I'll put some nice pretty planets around them. Now, let's see you... I'm going to focus on this one planet. I'll just populate this one.
"That's a lot of nice animals, but none of them can talk to me. Even though I knew that going in, I regret that now. I'm going to make people. This should be fun!
"There they are. And now, even though I know what they're going to do, I'm going to put this tree right here in the middle of this Garden. But I'm going to tell them not to touch it.
"Oh, no! The people I made ate the fruit from the tree I told him not to touch, just like I knew they would! Now I have to punish them! Out of the garden they go!
"Hey, look at that! They've got two sons. This will work out. Oh, wait, one of the sons is dead. Who could have done it? I'll just ask the other son if he knows. I'm sure he'll be honest with me, even though I know every thought that runs through his head.
"I'm shocked! Cain killed Abel? Well, I'd better banish him, but first I'll put a mark on his head so that none of the other people I failed to think about up until this moment will kill him."
SOME TIME LATER
"Well, that was stupid. Even though I knew exactly how it would turn out, I regret making people, because they're doing what I knew they would. I know! Even though I know how this will turn out, I'll flood the world, kill all the people except for one family. A little inbreeding will do them good."
