Though I think one of the biggest points against God is much of his nature as defined does seem arbitrary.
Let's put it in a more acceptable form then: Does god determine his own nature?

Oh, you are so wonderfully naive.

Creationists never try to define kinds. Evolutionists keep trying to get them to define kinds so that the ridiculous idea can be disproven once and for all and creationists run all over the place avoiding having to define it.
