That is a possible explanation. Perhaps He was practising.

On the other hand, if he was God, He was all knowing and had no need of "practise". At any rate, there is no fossil evidence to indicate this theory.

I believe God created the rules that set the universe in operation, and that from time to time he intervenes to achive His goal. I believe He created us through these rules He set up, and that we were His intended end-product.

I couldn't even begin to guess why God thought it necessary to create such vain and vile creatures as us, but then I'm not God and hence lack the ability to figure that out.

That is the important question. And why did he create ed asner?

Why bring up God? You guys always have to paint "non-believers" as religious fanatics.

I'm not quite sure why the fossil evidence works against this idea. Could you explain?

"I believe God created the rules that set the universe in operation, and that from time to time he intervenes to achive His goal. I believe He created us through these rules He set up, and that we were His intended end-product."

Or maybe we're still just an intermediate stage? Maybe it's the silicon-based artificial intelligence that will spring from ours that He's after.

Is God a computer looking to make beings in His image?
