The whole idea of starting from scratch doesn't seem like God's MO. He didn't do it with mankind after Adam and Eve screwed up and he didn't do it with angels after Lucifer and his gang screwed up.
It's kind of interesting to think that God created angels knowing what would happen and created mankind knowing what would happen. I don't get the point of it. You create things because of the surprise of the finished product. You have the idea in your head, but you don't really know how it will turn out until you're done. God knew exactly how it would turn out. No mystery at all. God must be really bored by his existence. What joy is there?
God knew exactly how it would turn out. No mystery at all. God must be really bored by his existence. What joy is there? To take it another step, you could almost say that God has no free will. Since he can see the future, he knows exactly what is going to happen. No matter what decision he makes, the decision has already been made and he knows the result.
So, what's the point of God's existence? He's all powerful, all-knowing. There's no action he can take, nothing he can do, that will in any way please him, surprise him or teach him anything. Seems like a pretty hellish existence, actually.
