God's Petri Dish

Even God is uncertain how the human experiment will eventually turn out. God doesn’t care how it turns out. I think God has been planting His Gardens all over His universe. He apparently enjoys a good game, but just in case, He most likely has multiple back-up plans. And a spare team, or two million, on the sidelines. Using good lab technique, He keeps His experiments widely separated. Each planet with life, its own petri dish, kept sterile by distance.

Sixty-five million years ago, a recurring event happened one more time in Central America. A great asteroid plunged into the Earth and the results very nearly wiped out life on the planet.

Despite our human attempts for the last two centuries to simulate a great asteroid and wipe out many species of life, plenty of orders of life are still left on Earth. Plenty of life forms with which God can work to achieve His ends. After all, God has plenty of time. He’s already got His Plan of evolution working for Him. He also has evolution’s great tools of diversification and competition working for Him.

God is not good, nor is He evil. God is. God is simply too far removed from any active participation with humans and their activities for the notions of good and evil to apply to Him.

God started life on this planet a very long time ago. He has been learning from the experiment all of that time.

Human beings are simply the latest experimental subject to appear out of that grand life experiment.

God is using human beings. Just as He has used all other previous life forms. From crinoids to dinosaurs to mammals to Neanderthals to Homo sapiens to experience both good and evil.

God learns from both, is seeking to know if the universe would be better with one or the other. It is more commonly our own free will choices and decisions that develops good and evil.

It is from our desires and actions that God will learn. At the end of the universe He will be perfect, without error.
