Could've, would've, should've.

God could have done anything He wanted. His nature would not allow Him to have done or not done all of those things you asked. You see, God desired fellowship so He created man. He already had the MULTITUDES of angels. Why could He not have simply fellowshipped with them? He, by design, created us in His image. He created us to be one with Him. The angels were not created this way. They were created to serve His commands. We were created to commune and fellowship with Him and to have a spiritual relationship with Him. The angels did not have this privelege, apparently or there would have been no "need" for us.

Regardless of what you say or rather what your denomination says, God is not some slave driver in the sky. He sets forth His guidelines for us to follow that we may live a Holy life. He does not beat us over the back with a whip to force us to serve Him. He allows us the freedom to serve Him.

"You see, God desired fellowship so He created man."

What is your Scriptural basis for such a claim? Where in all the Bible does it say that God was seeking fellowship?

I can show you a hundred passages that state that God created man to glorify Him, but cannot lay my finger on a single "God is a lonely guy lookin' for a buddy" passage.
