If you could correct "god's" mistakes...

Nice, but Darwin is spinning at 8000 RPM in his grave right now . . . .

The biggest mistake from the point of view of Homo sapiens is; god chose the Milky Way to announce his presence.

Antikythera mechanism

The knowledge of this technology was lost at some point in antiquity and technological works approaching its complexity and workmanship did not appear again until the development of mechanical astronomical clocks in Europe in the fourteenth century.

As much as I despise Christianity I cannot say that the knowledge of Greek scientists was wiped out by the arrival of this new Christ god, but fuck me it's tempting to speculate as to how the world would be different if the cunt had chosen Andromeda instead.

I think I would make everyone a god in their own right and give them their own universe to play with.  Kinda like a cosmic sandbox. Maybe sprinkle in some universal rules regarding harm and suffering.

Everyone is a Q.

Define suffering?
Can Bill Gates still buy out 90% of the other universes and when the rest are poor he will promise (from his luxury yatch) to leave 90% of his fortune to the needy (which he created?)

The enforcement of Aristotelian "science" by the RCC has certainly set humanity back many centuries. By the time I finished earning my BSc in physics, I realized what a crock of hooey that the RCC had forced on the laity. Religious people used mathematics and fledgling astronomy and physics to keep the peasants in line (for predicting eclipses, for example, for intimidation). In this connection, astronomy was a combination of astrology and physics and mathematics, which the general populace was kept ignorant of. When some of the religious here cite that xtianity fostered science, they neglect the part about how the RCC kept that very same science from the populace for centuries, while exploiting it for their own benefit. And if they are Protestants, they have exactly zero claim, since they belong to a sect that split off. Don't like the RCC? Nail your 95 feces to that door, and claim complete denial! The more one knows about the history of science with respect to religion, the more disgusted one becomes. What makes a current religious person righteous with science? Retconned history and downright lies about history. Disgusting.

A favourite aphorism of mine is: 'Christianity is the biggest disaster in all of human history'.
We would have internet connections four hundred years ago if not for the the church. For twelve hundred years the church held all the cards and had almost unlimited funds and yet, it never invented the lightening conductor or even a fucking mousetrap. But then Christian theologians infest every university on the planet. That is one effective business model. But then they've had a few years to get it right.

I would've had the tree of knowledge eat the first two humans instead. 

Tree of Knowledge: "You ate an apple from me, now i'm going to eat you."

Seems like I cannot define it without using more words and get into an regress of definitions or maybe its circular.  I guess if I were god I could give all my creations an inate universal definition of suffering without all the wordy fuss. 

You can pinch Billy G out of existence if you want. Just don't let him suffer.

I think our natural greediness for survival is intrinsically in our DNA.

If God can create without the need for us to naturally evolve, sure anything's possible? Even God?
If he did, we would be so different, it wouldn't matter. Like peaceful daffodils growing in a field.

[Amarok]

No define hideness if i exist people will know me. If i am really good people will love me . None of this faith or having to already believe in me bullshit . And no needing to commit blood sacrifices to forgive people . If my children can do it i can too .  And no after life either if you need me to eternally judge and reward you to be good you were never good . and no worship no temples and no rituals i'm not some petty being that needs praise .

[Enlightened Ape]

I don`t think that i will create a thing in the first place , why create anything when i know everything in the past and the future , It`s not like i can create a certain creature and protect them and watch them grow etc.... , I know everything already ! , such existence as a god would be a "Hell" for the god , basically you can`t think or create or do anything without you knowing all the outcomes already , so i think suicide is a possible solution in this scenario .
