If I were God, or a creator of all I could imagine, I would want to create beings with the capacity to grow and learn, especially developing the capacity for love, compassion and creativity. So I would want to create a situation or place where they could go to do so. -Whatever you want someone to learn they have to have a place to learn it. Earth could be a small speck of the universe created to develop/grow abilities that could not be grown anywhere else in all creation. -Beings could come to earth to experience all of their free will abilities (according to whatever limits them). I would give them a choice to come here or not. I would give them the choice to come as many times as they want. It would be a place that a life would only be so long for intense training purposes. In their in-between times they would remember each life and what they learned in each one.-I would create a system so that once a being develops certain abilities that have been proven as tried and true they would also gain abilities to 'leave the nest', so to speak. There would be greater heights to attain to, maybe as guides or leaders, or creators of other worlds and other beings. Whatever these beings could imagine or want to do. As once these virtues are created and given the life span of forever and the space, they could develop in many ways. -There would be beings who grow attached to each other and help each other through lives and help each other attain greater abilities, that way it would foster familial bonds which would grow the capacity for even more love and compassion and leadership, wanting to be examples for others.-Obviously, if there is such a thing as a creator God of all that IS, it has had plenty of time to figure all these things out....the possibilities are mind boggling for such a mind as that with all the creative juices of dark matter flowing and available for creation. -I, as one short lived created being, have the ability to imagine myself as a creator as well as the ability to imagine why I would build such a system as this, and, if given even more time, I am sure I could elaborate many times over on the possibilities of what could exist beyond our here and now for all beings....and I'm just a measly pion with just a tiny bit of dark matter running my brain and very little to build with. So, imagine if I had all access to all the creative soup of dark matter!!! Who knows, maybe one day I will....maybe one day we all will...it's a thought.-[edit]-You asked why would a creator create life? Why not? What greater creation could a creator create than to create and give beings the opportunity to become conscious and know how it feels to feel? It is like asking a mother or father why they want to give birth to children, knowing this world ain't always a pretty place and there will be trials and tribulations. But still, we choose to give birth. The joy of birth and the new child's life is always worth the pain and sorrow we know that child will eventually experience...isn't it?
