Aaron, that's where your thought process is flawed.  God is a 
micro-manager. :) (Thank God! :) )  Haven't you ever put your heart and 
soul into the creation of anything?  Certainly you have.   Do you then 
just sit it on the shelf and stare at it?  I think not.

How can you actually think that you could possibly understand the 
thought process of God?

Please, don't let this start a flame war.  The list doesn't need it and 
I want to have the last word.
