If so, what do you think would have happened had he done so? It's one of those scenarios that I find pretty interesting in that it helps understand how we see god as a person and concept.
He suffered the same weaknesses and afflictions that we do, yet He never succumbed to them.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
