It's egotistical to project human attributes to the phenomena, and fallacious to assume that God 'chose'. Assuming 'God': everything (as in nature) is him so 'deciding' is just nature enacting it's 'course'.

But the bible applies human attributes to God all the time.

Mercy, jealousy, love, anger, etc, etc,etc.

The christian god is pretty much a distillation of the worst of humanity.

Whereas a universe spanning god(which is what you appear to be advocating)

not only would have none of these but would be unaware of humans at all.
