> DAVID: The problem is we do not know God personally. I don't presume to know if he is infallible or had to experiment.

Less than a fortnight ago you were dismissing the idea of experimentation as defining "an indecisive God so it is a nonstarter", while God not thinking of humans till later on in evolution "is less indecisive, but no less a wrong approach, since it makes God dither." Well, you are young (at heart) and impulsive, but when pressed are open-minded and courageous enough to switch from 100% to 50%. You would make a good agnostic.-My impulsiveness is a consequence of my own problem, which you poke at constantly. I don't know God or his personality. I can only make guesses to answer our queries. My answer above is clear enough. Like mud.
