earth is the actual God and that’s what this particular planet was able to produce.

*** g95 11/8 p. 12 How to See the Beauty Around Us ***
Apart from the aesthetic pleasure it gives us, nature’s art—both large and small—can draw us closer to our Creator. “Raise your eyes high up and see,” exhorted Jehovah. By stopping to see, to gaze, and to wonder, whether we fix our sights on the starry heavens or any other of God’s creations, we are reminded of the One “who has created these things.”—Isaiah 40:26.
Men Who Learned to See
In Bible times servants of God took a special interest in creation. According to 1 Kings 4:30, 33, “Solomon’s wisdom was vaster than the wisdom of all the Orientals . . . He would speak about the trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon to the hyssop that is coming forth on the wall; and he would speak about the beasts and about the flying creatures and about the moving things and about the fishes.”
Perhaps Solomon’s interest in the glories of creation was partly due to his father’s example. David, who spent many of his formative years as a shepherd, often meditated on God’s handiwork. The beauty of the heavens particularly impressed him. At Psalm 19:1, he wrote: “The heavens are declaring the glory of God; and of the work of his hands the expanse is telling.” (Compare Psalm 139:14.) Evidently, his contact with creation drew him closer to his God. It can do the same for us.
As these godly men knew, recognizing and appreciating God’s handiwork uplifts the spirit and enriches our lives. In our modern world plagued with prepacked entertainment that is often debasing, taking note of Jehovah’s creation can provide a wholesome activity for ourselves and our families. For those who yearn for God’s promised new world, it is a pastime with a future.—Isaiah 35:1, 2.
When we not only see the art around us but also discern the qualities of the Master Artist who made it all, we will doubtless be moved to echo David’s words: “There is none like you . . . , O Jehovah, neither are there any works like yours.”—Psalm 86:8.

HE he was a perfect god in need of nothing he would already be complete and have no need of anything.
The god concept throws up too many unanswerable questions . . . it’s insane.

It may be so we could learn, to live, to get along, to dwell in all the earth, but no, we are mankind and we think to subdue is rape, pillage and plunder.

Everard knows I asked this question the other day, none of the usual suspect Christians offered an answer, I got an attempt by other Christians giving allegories of babies and paintings. I like to paint for amusement when I am bored, artists do it to make a living from their talent. Until recently we did not choose to have babies, we chose to have sex, babies often followed. We cannot love a baby before it is even conceived. If I suspend my disbelief in a god for a while I would offer that he was bored and or lonely so we are a heavenly version of the Sims being played with by the equivalent of the boy next door in Toy Story (1).
