Why Did God Create The World?

By Hafeez Onitilo, please note that this article represents solely the believe of the writer

Most times I wonder why this world was created, why did God create man just to live and then die? I also wonder if it would have been different if Adam and Eve had stayed away from the forbidden fruit or if God hadn’t created eve, could we be sitting next to lions and snakes knowing that they can’t arm us? 

What if we were not even suppose to be in garden of Eden? What if God is not who he says he is or what if everything happen now is just is way of entertaining himself? PLEASE before you read further put aside your religious views as I am not writing this to cause any religious dispute this is just a mere thought with some LOGICAL reasoning behind it. The question I will like to ask you is “how can we truly prove that God is omniscience (The all knower)?” Don’t get me wrong I am not saying God is not the all knower or the master of the world, I am only saying what if we only see him that way because we have been made to believe so. For those of you that are still reading this write up with your religious mind please I suggest you put that on hold because that is when you can truly understand the concept of this write up. When God wanted to create man He told his angels about his plan and some of them tried to convince him not to but he made it clear that he was going to do so because He knows what they don’t know (please correct me if am wrong). Another thing that was said was that before the creation of man God created that heavens and earth, normally I would have love to ask where was God before he created the heavens and the earth and where were the angels during the creation because we were only told that the whole creation lasted for six day but I will leave that for you to deal with. 

From what we were told after God created Adam he told his entire angel to bow and one refuse and we all know how the story ended. Now my question is “if God truly knows everything, which means he knew Satan was going to disobey Him and he allowed it?” If that is so then the next question should be “why did God allow Satan to disobey him unless he didn’t know Satan was going to do so?” We were also told that minus the fact that man was created from dust/sand, angels were created from light and the other thing that make us unique and different was the freewill to do whatever we choose unlike the angels who had to obey Him at all time (correct me if am wrong). Satan was an angel and he was suppose to always obey God but he didn’t and my question is “what made him disobey God, was it freewill?”

I agree to the fact that God has all the knowledge about what will and would happen but then ask yourself why didn’t He compel satan to obey him since he already knew Satan was going to disobey him unless someone will LOGICALLY agree with me that H didn’t actually know that satan was going to disobey Him or maybe that was how He wanted it. Skipping further to when God created eve so that Adam won’t feel lonely in the garden, God told them not to eat a certain forbidden tree but they did. As the master of the universe, the knower of that in which man doesn’t know, why didn’t he stop eve from eating the fruit because I am assuming he already knew satan was going to tempt eve and she will eat the fruit. He knew eve will fall for Satan and still He didn’t do anything to stop it. Now this brings me back to the question of “why did God create man?” The religious people will say to serve him and praise him. I will say He created us for entertainment I mean think about it, He had angels who had been compelled to do his wish why create human to do the same?” “Why give human the choice to be able to disobey or worship him, if all he wanted is for us to praise Him?” The world his full of evil and God knows about it even before it started. So was this His plan, was this what He wanted when He created the earth? To me I think we are all being played by God and He is enjoying it unless someone can LOGICALLY give me a reason why God allowed this world to be like this I would say maybe he never knew it was going to be like this or He knew and decide to enjoy the fun while it lasts.
