Quote: 2. Does gods creation not make him apparent?Circular logic is illogical. The existence of things only makes a creator apparent if you have evidence that creator caused the things to exist. So provide some evidence.
Quote: 3. If god popped up one day to make himself readily known as existing, would all people serve him any way?Not while he allows people's loved ones, especially children, suffer needlessly. If someone could save my son, and refused to because he was testing my free will, I'd have little use for him. How much more so for an impotent or unwilling God?
Quote: 4. 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?You ask too many random hypotheticals. What if aliens made humans to farm the Earth, but then the aliens got wiped out by microbial lifeforms, leaving the Earthlings with vague ideas about "gods"? And if so, what if one man found the body of an alien, unlocking the secret to eternal life, and deliberately arranged for his own crucifiction to prove he was "God"? What if the universe is a magic space monkey's giant poop?
I'm sure you'll say all these are stupid ideas I pulled out of my ass, right? Now consider this-- that's how the Bible looks to non Christians.
