If God had no beginning, and therefore was existant an indefinite amount of time before he created the Earth?

What changed his mind? If God never changes, as "There is no shadow of change with God" (Jm.1:17), and the many other scriptures imply, is it not a paradox for him to think of the idea to create the world?

Why create a habitat and beings solely with the purpose for them to worship you? If God is omnipotent, wouldn't he have been perfectly content alone?

Update:

*for them to worship him

...Damn. Well, now no one's going to take me seriously, haha.

Update 2:

That was just a subquestion. Why didn't you answer my main question?

Update 3:

Why would an omniscient God need to experiment if he already knows the results?

    Lots of questions :) I'll try out the: "Why create a habitat and beings..." It seems as if the previous questions are rounding themselves out to this one.

    God is perfectly content alone and doesn't need human beings or a creation to worship him. So God's actions didn't come out of a NEED. Instead, God, by his own nature, innately does good things. He is a God in motion, a God that does things, and the things that he does are good things. God said repeatedly that the Genesis creation was good and he was well pleased with it.

    *Every time I say "good" I mean God's definition of good, which means perfect*

    So God created the universe, the earth, the sun, and you and me. He did this so that he might gain our love (worship). And he created us out of love, a love greater than we could ever return.

    To put simply, it's within God's nature to create good things, and so he did.

    Consider Romans 8:32 "He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?"

    Maybe JWHW died, which is why we haven't heard from him an a while and Moloch is the one remaining living God.
