dhw: I understand why you think we were God’s goal. The theory of experimentation allows for that. We know that he DIDN’T create us directly, and so I ask why, if his one and only goal was to design humans plus food, he first of all designed countless life forms plus foods that had no connection with humans. One or other of your two premises makes the combination illogical, and yet you believe “His logic is like ours.” […]

DAVID: Ask Him. I don't know why He chose the methods He used.[…]

dhw: You have tried to read his mind, and you have concluded that his one and only purpose in creating life was to create humans plus their food, and his method was to create countless life forms and foods that had no connection with humans. That is illogical, and so you invite me to ask God to explain your illogical theory!

DAVID: It is only your opinion my theory is illogical. I see it as perfectly logical. I cannot read God's mind, just as you can't. I must judge god from His works and you know my judgement.

No, none of us can read God’s mind, but when I ask you why, if his only purpose was to create humans plus their food, he first created countless life forms and foods that had no connection with humans, you say it’s “perfectly logical” but you don’t know why and I should ask him. How can it be “perfectly logical” if you can’t explain it?
