If God made the universe perfect then there would be no reason to intervene in which case time would run like a movie, unless his tastes changed (but he would know that so he still wouldn't need to intervene because that would also be determined from the beginning) but then God would not be part of the cycle of life and would just be an observer. This wouldn't give the universe any purpose.
If God wanted to be part of creation, he would have purposely made the universe imperfect so he could step in at the right time to fix things. So creation would be more like his video game.
He gave us self awareness which make me think he wanted to be part of it, but divine intervention would violate causality which is an important part of rational thinking. Then there all the times he doesn't intervene to prevent suffering which leads me to believe he is evil or indifferent at best.
So what you think? movie or video game?
