And then there was light...

Who knows what God was thinking when God set upon creating our sphere? Lord knows this is the biggest science project I could possibly imagine and not a task I'd take up for myself. I have enough trouble exerting any sort of control over my own sphere within the sphere.

So you've got this ball covered with earth, wind, water, and fire; a self sustaining environment. What creatures will you populate it with? Do you make them all at the same time? Is it a process of trial and error? How long do you let an experiment with one form or another continue before you deem it a success or a failure? What's your criteria for success? For failure? Are you striking for some sort of balance or do you just let the chips fall where they may and leave each form to fend for itself and determine it's own fate? Can you bear to destroy that which you've taken the time to create should you deem it a failure? Can you picture God as the ultimate abortionist?
