His decision is rather simple and no brainer. And because he would know that peace lies in being good, if we assume he has knowledge of good, then it would be a no brain decision without any struggle.
That has significantly less value then the praise many humans go through.
Therefore it seems God in the sense of ultimately great cannot be earned in reality nor can have always been.
Well, the descision I see god making is whether he wants to enslave us or not. If he is sadistic, he might create things just to kill them. However, we still exist, so that must not be the case here. HOwever, the possibility of him being apathetic is still open. Also, is god necessarily unchanging? He is defined as such by many religions, but I am not sure if this is an assumption that can be made so easily.
