If God is some kind of all-powerful master of the universe, what was his purpose in creating life and what exactly was his plan for us?
Why would God create life for a purpose? Surely if an all-powerful creator wanted to achieve something, it could do so instantly without requiring thousands of years of human labour — and fallibility.
I could understand if God created life because he is lonely, or just out of interest to see what would happen, but the idea of creating life for a purpose with specific rules and regulations, and then getting all upset when we fail to adhere to those rules, seems bizarre to me.
To consider how strange this is, imagine if we humans created a completely new species and demanded of this new species that it should follow certain rules. Yet, at the same time, we gave it free-will and an inquisitive mind of it’s own and consequently it refused to follow our rules or failed to understand them. Would it not be highly peculiar if our reaction were to blame the species
that we were entirely responsible for creating, rather than blame our own motives and designs?
