Maybe if you're going to post in a thread based on a certain premise, you'll accept it for purposes of discussion. And if you don't want to discuss the motivations of a hypothetical diety, then why did you even come here?

Well, everyone knows that 'evolution' is a highly scientifically disproven theory of the universe's existence. What big words...
I think we might be using the word benefit differently. I'm not saying creating humans makes God stronger, or wiser, or actually changes His nature. I just think He enjoys creating. Would He be any less God if He didn't create? Would He be somehow unhappy? No, but that doesn't mean He doesn't enjoy it.

Hmm ... I'm not aware that we were "created", much less by canines.

I'm not toying, just observing. Not even trying to get a rise out of you. If you are going to tell others off for what they post, don't be surprised when the tables are turned

Oh, he didn't create us. He was just a supervisor for us for some 2000 years. He quit the job 132 years ago, because he could not get along with humans.

God permits the conditions necessary for life to exist in the universe because its hard to tell a compelling story with just scenery.

The question should more precise be "Why did Knubb create humans?"
Then you get into the strange scenario of realising the He could create more humans, to be even more happy. While there are certainly a fixed number of humans in our universe, you could then posit that He's created other universes (an infinite number) teeming with humans. It's a strange idea.
As well, if He likes creating humans so much, it's not being done very efficiently. You'd think that He likes misery, then. He's created, what?, roughly 60 billion humans? What portion of them were miserable? A pretty decent number, I'd think.

He didn't. Humans evolved, we weren't created.

God doesn't exist. Dot. What's that, why not? Because! Don't toy with me, I ain't in the mood!

Intresting that you use on of my quotes yet ignore a post where I say that if someone wants to discuss the existence of god they make a new thread. 'God doesn't exist' is a legitimate answer to the thread question.

Islanders: Why does god want us to worship him if he is all-powerful?
Homer Simpson as a missionary: "Because you see my friends though god is all powerful, he is insecure..."
Dont remember exact quote but was very funny at the time.
Seriously though, if god exists, then i assumed he wanted people to live and to suffer. Though i dont know why he gives people free will and at the same time has people that are born with mental conditions that can create sinners/murderers.
