Consider *need* and *desire*

So a perfect lifeform would sit/lie comatose staring into space?
*Note to self: Don't achieve perfection*

If something is perfect, it is complete--it needs nothing else.

The biblical account of god creating is a man made account of god in an attempt to understand things. Obviously a perfect god would not purposely create because that would mean that he had some desire of something that "he" didn't have. And if he didn't have something that would mean that he was imperfect.
However, a perfect god( or force) may create naturally, and eternally, without wanting to or not wanting to.

This is the argument from perfection, yet to be refuted. Perfection implies a lack of needs, so what possible need would a perfect being have? Why would the ultimate have any needs for anything outside of itself? If you can improve a perfect thing, then the original is not perfect after all. So a perfect God with needs is also not perfect. A perfect being would not need anything external to itself.

Which Universe? The one in the outerspace or the one who inside of you?
The one in outerspace is there for us, for if we are smart, and we use our minds, and we think positive, and we build our dreams with blind faith, and overcome our fears; the same universal law will work for us. It is just man and woman are made out of haste and they want everything now, procrastinate to make a decision but that law, that which you see out there is waiting for the power in us to move.
The universe in you is greater than anyone can imagine. The thing is, people don't invest more time in reading how they become strong, how to develope their mind, how to overcome their habits, but when they do, when they study this, they'll realise, the universe inside of them is much greater than the Universe they see through the eyes of a telescope.
The purpose is for the wise, to reflect and wonder on the power that is readily available for them.
If you don't believe, then look in the mirror and see how great you are.
As for the one who calls God a jerk and curses life; then you cursed yourself. Hence, the Universal law, you are what you say you are, what you curse others to be and whatever you utter to that very Universal law, so it will return a hundred times fold.
So stay bitter due your habits of procrastination and thinking that God needs to give evidence. He has to prove nothing. It is you who has to prove to yourself that you are worthy to be part of the Universal law to benefit from it.

because the angels that stayed loyal to God thought that his judgment against Lucifer was to harsh. So he created us, and if We are not good in this life God who does love us, will banish us from his sight. or if you like will put us in hell Even though people out there think that this is hell. I read the other post from people saying why are there other languages or races. I would like to know why do the three religions that worship the same God all differ from each other.

The universe has always been here growing and collapsing back on it's self to be reborn again...it's a never ending cycle.
God is just a late edition to an old story.

So He could be worshipped and adored. Also, maybe as an awesome act of creativity. The same reason one of us might write a poem or paint a picture.

God split himself apart in order that he may know himself, thus creating everything we know and that which we have not yet discovered. You can't really know yourself unless you put yourself in certain situations to determine what actions you would take. So that is why God says I am that, I am. Point to anything, God is that. God is you, god is me. God is everywhere, everything. God is learning about himself through everything any one of us does. Embrace it.

God wanted to create life because He is love and He perfectly loves you

for entertainment purposes. We stumble through our daily lives and He looks down from above, laughing and munching on popcorn. We are His movie.

I don't think anyone knows for sure, but in my own humble opinion, God is love...and love can't help but to create.
