Just don't then assume that your regrettable lack of imagination tells us anything objectively useful about the Universe."

First of all, please don't ever fantasize that you speak for God -- only for yourself, and your own beliefs.
So it's entirely appropriate for me to say that I believe God created the Universe with a plan and purpose in mind.
That also happens to be what the Bible says.

Now if you wish to argue some other idea -- i.e., random creation, a careless or hostile "god", etc., then feel free to make your case, I will certainly listen to your argument, then methodically destroy it.

Are you really up for this?

I never claimed to "speak for God." Where did you get that?

I was merely pointing out that your original statement:

It is impossible for me to imagine God creating the Universe without having us in mind as His end-product [...]

is merely a statement about your lack of imagination. It provides us with absolutely no objective information.

It is about as appropriate as my saying that I believe that, a million years ago, a little teapot was in orbit between Earth and Mars.

Unless you can provide objective evidence, it is inappropriate.
