Why do we blither and natter at each other the way we do here on DU and in this forum specifically?
Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.
If you assume that God is a great mind then God will want to discuss ideas. Some humans are such obstinate beasts that they would happily argue with God until He cried u(U?)ncle. <flicks eyes at mirror> By no means do I assume we are alone in the universe and I suspect that any other race of sophonts is going to have some individuals just as pig headed and prone to disagreement as our own race does, God would want it that way and what God wants God gets.
You can get epistemological and all that jive but at our current level of understanding of the universe my explanation makes about as much sense any any other.
On the other hand maybe He just wanted to hear Jeff Beck cover Amazing Grace.
