Why is GOD a lazy, wasteful & inefficient deity? Any reason to make the universe utterly hostile towards his crowning achievement -- man?

Update:

The theory goes GOD made the single cell bacteria that eventually evolved to became us and everything around us. GOD is no longer explicit in his creation of man, but 'lays the groundwork'. So my question is that if we are to believe this specious and laughable notion, why the hell is GOD so wasteful? Why create the universe and let it sit for 14 billion years before creating human suitable environment? GOD is a loser

    God is not lazy. He had done whatever he had to do and doing some good things even now. God is responsible for what he had done and human beings are responsible for what human beings have done.

    The relationship between God and human beings is just like a relationship you see between a scientist and his robots.

    God cannot watch each and every human being at the same time and cannot live with each and everyone to guide them. These works are done by the spirits. God had created different kinds of spirits for various purposes. He had made the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits, not for human beings. Spirits are separate elements. A human being is not a single spirit. A human being during his/her life time is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. Brain is just a media to connect the spirits to your mind. A mind is just a computer's mind. After the destruction of a computer completely you will not get it's mind. The same is the case with the human beings. Soul is nothing but an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

    Finally there is one more thing. There is always a common fate which is always applicable to all creatures including human beings. That is, we are like other creatures except that we have an additional sense (sixth sense). This sense had changed only the living conditions of the human beings but not the fate. The fate is almost same to all creatures including human beings.

    Remember, ignorance can no-longer cover sin; Acts 17:30.

    Recall, the words of Matthew 12:36.

    Time to repent and ask forgiveness.

    You assume man is the crowning creation. What if that goes to, oh, let's say, stars or planets, and we were put here to be guardians, just like others were put on other planets as guardians. The way we are tending to the planet makes me think we are far from a crowning acheivement.

    If God is lazy, then no one can have happiness.

    If God is wasteful, then time wouldn't have meaning.

    If God is inefficient, then things will be in complete chaos.

    God is still in control, creation is still in obedience to God, the universe, the animals, the trees, the firmament.

    Only man sins, so there are laziness, unhappiness. If everyone is perfect, then life would be different.

    That's the difference between heaven and hell. Life in hell would be burning in God's wrath, unquenchable fire eternally.

    The less some know, the more they accuse.

    The Lord God is leading His people home.

    By that, I mean preparing them to stand without spot or blemish...before Him.

    Most Christians know, I know there's a lot of work to be done to get us ready for the next life.

    From your comments, God isn't spending time on you.

    But I also think that's how you want it, am I right?

    And certainly that's how I want it.

    So far, it seems reasonable to me.

    So, your concern is what again?

    "Lazy, wasteful, inefficient". Pretty old argument that I haven't heard from in a long time since Hitchens God is not Great Book or Dawkins God Delusion 12 years ago.

    And it's not a very good one. Here's why. We as human beings have only being on the planet for about 1-2 million years, only discovered Modern science in the last 500 years, and have a life span of at most around 100. The universe from what we know is 13.7 billion years old.

    How would we even be in a position to make any sort of value judgement in saying that the universe was made "inefficiently"? That's quite a subjective claim based on our very limited knowledge of the universe.

    Secondly from a theological perspective St Paul speaks about how "creation is groaning for the revelation of the children of God"(Romans 8). Because of our fall from grace not only was the potential for union and harmony with God broken. But the potential for union and harmony with creation was broken as well. Genesis 3 through poetry and allegory where it says "cursed is the ground because of you"(Genesis 3:17)
