No. There is no god.

The short answer to the question “why did God create us?” is “for His pleasure.” Revelation 4:11 says, “Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.” Colossians 1:16 reiterates the point: “All things were created by Him and for Him.”

Being made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27), human beings have the ability to know God—and therefore love Him, worship Him, serve Him, and fellowship with Him. God did not create human beings because He needed them. As God, He needs nothing. In all eternity past, He felt no loneliness, so He was not looking for a “friend.” He loves us, but this is not the same as needing us. If we had never existed, God would still be God—the Unchanging One (Malachi 3:6).

The I AM THAT I AM (Exodus 3:14) was never dissatisfied with His own eternal existence. When He made the universe, He did what pleased Him, and since God is perfect, His action was perfect. “It was very good” (Genesis 1:31).

Also, God did not create “peers” or beings equal to Himself. Logically, He could not do so. If God were to create another being of equal power, intelligence, and perfection, then He would cease to be the One True God for the simple reason that there would be two gods—and that would be an impossibility. “The Lord He is God; there is none else beside Him” (Deuteronomy 4:35). Anything that God creates must of necessity be lesser than He. The thing made can never be greater than the One who made it.

Recognizing the complete sovereignty and holiness of God, we are amazed that He would take man and “crown him with glory and honor” (Psalm 8:5), and that He would condescend to call us “friends” (John 15:14-15).

Tom life is both a privilege and a miracle from God. God created millions of worlds beyond our tiny planet. We are only a speck in this vast universe of God. Make no mistake about this. Expand your horizon. Faith sees the impossible and receives the incomprehensible. God is not limited by time or space. He can step in or outside of the universe at his own pleasure because he is God. His ways and thoughts are higher than our ways and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Who can know the mind of God? Who can figure him out. God is so high we can not get above him. He is so low that we can't get beneath him. He is so wide we can't go around him. The only way to God is to go to him. Have faith dear friend in God.

It's the other way around, we've been on earth for Eons before we invented this version of God, but we did not get much entertainment out of him.

NO- God does not need anything. He desired to have a relationship with those that He created. And we were put here to enjoy that relationship - however- we messed up by sinning- God still desired us to have a personal relationship with Him, in spite of our sin, so He sent Jesus. We were created to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

Hello and God is Love, and you "need" someone here to Love, and NO due to Jesus' gift of life we are not called God's entertainment rather we are called God's Children. God bless, www.itiswritten.com

Loneliness is considered a human emotion. God does not suffer from having to endure these.
