God wanted unpredictability.

Maybe if god doesn't intervene in human matters, there really isn't a god. In other words, if god created all this, and completely ignores his own creation, then it's pretty much the same as if there's no god. God just lets things happen. Randomly. Sort of like a game. A roulette wheel. Let the ball land wherever it will. Without divine guidance. In a sense, god created a world over which he surrendered control. After all, why design something over which there's a pre-determined outcome? God wanted unpredictability. --Jim Broede
