I could speculate My favorite football team will win all twelve of it's regular season games, but a rational look at their opponents and it's just not going to happen. To speculate about something that's not going to happen or didn't happen is a waste of time.

Not a very competent builder if he made smethign that's going to fall apart if he leaves it alone. Granted anything we build needs maintenance from time to time too, but we're not perfect like he presumably is.
Hypotheticals are fun. They can also teach people things. Like if you think about how bad things would get is an evil person was in charge, and whatever you come up with isn't much worse than the way your god runs things, your god may be evil.
I'm all for having fun, and sometimes that fun doesn't accomplish much, but to speculate on the impossible is a complete waste of time.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
