God's way of easing his conscience.

I can't believe that we humans are one of the higher forms of life created by god. At best, maybe we are one of god's failed attempts. And god learned from his mistakes. But he still allowed us to flourish on planet Earth. And elsewhere in the universe, god did better. Much better. I suspect god knew he was gonna make some tragic and shameful mistakes. Maybe that's why he first created a universe with billions of galaxies and most likely billions of inhabitable planets. That way he could hide his most grievious mistake in a far-flung outreach of the cosmos. Earth, for instance, is sort of on the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. Far off the beaten track. So hardly anyone knows of god's disgraceful Frankensteinian experiment called humankind. I suppose god could have destroyed us, and pretended we never existed. Instead, he left the dirty work up to us. We are gonna find a way to destroy ourselves. Maybe that will ease god's conscience and wipe his slate clean. --Jim Broede
