Another hypothetical for theists.

[Whateverist]

That is my what I thought you'd say.

Follow up question.  Do you think God set the natural world in motion or merely gave it his blessing after the fact.  If the former, do you think he put some english on it in order to be sure it resulted in homo sapiens (and hetero sapiens too, of course)?  

I think he set the universe (or whatever came before it) in motion in some way, and allowed nature to take its course from there. Though knowing exactly what would happen, and seeing that the good that would ultimately come out of everything would outweigh whatever bad there was.

Then you think God is incapable of whimsy, discovery or folly?  If so I think we all are better off that that poor Guy.
