4. this is the question that reduces everything else to a mind fart...
You are asking why doesn't God create something more valuable that what the universe currently contains... This is ad hoc reasoning. because let's say the universe does everything can think of and an infinitum of more possibilities, but you being finite in a fix point in time and space can only ever examine maybe .01% of what is valuable. is it God's fault or doing that you mistake the .01% of the universe as being the whole universe?
Your argument is from ignorance, in the you think... we know and have cataloged everything when in fact we know we only have a tenth of a % of an understanding of how everything in the universe works.
The question here should not be why did create more, but how much can we see? And even then... see answer number 3.. "value" is subjective and based on individual worth.'
That's not the question the OP asked.
Instead, if we grant the supposition that some existent God is omnipotent, then said God would have already created infinitely better things.
- In other words: Do you think this universe's creation, represents the end of God's supposedly unending power? Are universes the "best" or "greatest" things that the supposed God would have already created? ....and why would there be a "best" or "greatest" measure, for a supposedly omnipotent God that shouldn't have any "best" or "greatest" measurement of performance?
Based on the consequence of the supposed existence of an omnipotent force, it's extremely reasonable to conclude that theists may be far, in fact infinitely far less special than what they would have hoped for.
