what if we aren't the first?
we aren't God's first creations. he's created other planets, other universes, with all of the same resources, just to see how we use them. He put us here, with an earth that produces natural life with natural cycles and natural controls. He presents chemicals, substances that can be used, in a limited amount, to make our lives easier. he sees us time and time again take advantage of these resources, thinking not about our long term future, but instead of our immediate future. Our selfish wants and needs overpower the needs of the universe around us. So what if we expel toxins that destroy our ozone, no problem if we create carcinogens that wipe us out.
and eventually, like always, we destroy ourselves. we kill off our animals. we overuse our natural resources. we destroy life and its natural processes, just to suit our selfish wants. and each time, God wonders if this next one will be different. He wonders whether or not this universe will finally succeed and make itself sustainable.
because you can't just introduce some intelligence to some creatures. he wants to. somehow he wants to expel the exact right force of energy and knowledge into creatures that makes them know enough to figure out how to be sustainable, but not enough to not need him anymore. he introduces limiting factors, and we find ways around some of them, but causing our own demise.
it's such a vicious cycle that we don't even know how to turn around and recognize it.
and each time, the earth is destroyed.
STORY TIME FOR THIS ONE YES MA'AM AND SIR.
