I know. Was everything perfect with God before He got busy, or did he create shit because His 'world' was deficient without us all? Was it perfect for him in the void before? If not, was there any rhyme or reason to when He got around to creating it all? Did He nail the timing of creation? Was creation for His pleasure or for us? Was He being self-indulgent or beneficent?
If creation flowed from his generosity (rather than boredom) I wonder why He chose to make us so much less than himself - mortal, limited, omni-nothing. Was that the best He could do? Or did He like having such an enormous power differential? Perhaps He thought: "if I make them really dim and needy they can sing my praises all day, behold Me in awe, and worship everything about Me". Kind of like a man who wants to marry a woman he feels superior to.
