If gods purpose as I have been taught, is that one day the earth will be a paradise like state with no evil. Back to its original Eden conditions. Proving that Satan, Adam, and Eve were wrong to reject gods sovereignty and humans are not capable of ruling themselves... how would it serve his purpose if people worshipped him out of fear of him killing them rather than from their hearts?
Assuming you're not opposed to science, it kind of answers itself. The universe is about 13 billion years old, if I'm not mistaken. Earth is about 4,5 billion years old. Man, or creatures similar to man, walk the earth for about 3 million years tops. The dinosaurs, who came pretty late in earth's history, populated the earth for about 100 million years before vanishing. So do the math how significant we are as a species and why god (I assume the christian one) would suddenly crop up in the desert about 3000 years ago. Never seen before, never seen again.
