God is the most creative force in AND OUTSIDE the universe. He is efficient when he wants to be, and inefficient when he doesn't.

So, God is flighty. Got it. For a being that is supposed to be all-knowing and all powerful, he sure is a poor biological engineer.

You forget God is a person, and the reason for His universe is His pleasure, not ours

Okay, so God gets pleasure out of messing with us? Seems like a silly, immature thing for an all-powerful being to do.

Do you get pleasure out of confusing ants? It's pretty much the same thing.

Seems?!

Proverbs 14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

If one of your professors gave you a tricky problem to solve, would you consider him immature for letting you make your own life difficult, or would you applaud him for teaching you wisdom?

You presume to judge God's motives. Do you think, if he had the brains, your dog would question the wisdom of your going to work every day, when you could stay home and play with him. Yet the chasm between your dogs consciousnes is infinitely smaller than between yours and Gods.

But, by all means, think what you want. But please keep in mind that you will be offered new information over the course of your life that could dramatically change your viewpoint in ways you never thought possible. Maybe.
