What makes no sense, FK, is that God makes “choices.”
= = =

Not so fast hotshot.

God makes clear in Scripture that He made and makes choices.

There may be plenty of mystery associated with that—but it’s plain Scripture.

Oh, sure, Q, He stands there with earth models and ponders "Should I use this one or that one...decisions, decisions" and He must have had an awful lot (like infinite number) of man models to choose from...three legged, two-headed...pink eyed, green hair, chicken-footted...etc.

And all the outcomes He had to "choose" from when it came to events that were to unfold..."Should I make earth first and then the light...should I make earth this big, or that big, and what if I Adam doesn't eat the fruit...etc., etc. etc. LOL!!!

God does not have to choose between this and that. God never wonders what He should choose. Nor does God have a choice imposed on Him, nor does He not know what to do. God making "choices" is an oxymoron, an anthropomorphism, or stuffing God into our little human mindset box, which is what happens with literalist bible-reading.
