HE had to start some where, didnt HE???
So, why not the age of 13? People in undeveloped Countries didnt live long after that.
In JESUS time, if you were 25, you were OLD!!
Living in a Desert was a hard life, and a lot of people were nomadic back then.
I wish you well..

1. What "god"? Find a decapitated body and raise it from the dead in front of me, then we'll talk.
2. Evolution has led to fertility of varying numbers in varying species. In species with a high death rate and short lives, reproduction is possible within a year of birth and numbers in the hundreds, if not thousands. In more evolved species with longer lives and better survival rates (birds, mammals), smaller litters became sufficient. In fact, human puberty is relatively *late* compared to the lifespans of most species, and our relatively few number of offspring is matched by only a few highly social species of animals (canines, felines, primates, and elephants, to name a few).
3. Prior to the last few hundred years, the average life expectancy of humans was around 40 (70+ is an aberration due to human knowledge). Early puberty meant a better survival rate, so on the evolutionary scale, age 13 is adequate for a time for puberty when death by age 20 was common for 100,000 years of human history.

Actually, it can be at any age that a girl/woman ovulates.
As to whether or not a god "did" that, that's another question. Seeing that it is a male god, invented by male humans, I'd guess that it has something to do with not understanding women.

Earlier than that is possible. Girls can have children once they start menstuating, some start at the age of nine. Whereas men can have children upto the age of ninety.

The same reason he made them able to commit murder at age 13. Humans are more than biological beings; we're spiritual beings with souls and free-will.
Life is about how one chooses to use that free-will; not about how many orgasms one can achieve.

Why God created Devil?
Why God Sins?
Why God gave us the freedom to choose?

I guess maybe in the beginning it seemed like a good idea to get the world populated quickly.
