Awesome question!
And yes...it is impossible to answer.
Though, we *do* have at least a partial answer.
God created us for His glory - we exist for His glory. The universe was created for His glory - the universe exists for His glory.
No, He didn't have to create us...and He still would have been glorious. And no, He didn't have to create the universe...and He still would have been glorious.
So why did He?
It pleased Him to do so.
He just wanted to.
It was His will.
That's all that can be said...no more, no less.

Very difficult to answer... but not impossible.
God and the Souls which are aspects of God, are composed of Neutral Spiritual Energy, or NSgy. Being composed of NSgy, Souls desire nothing but God. But, being NSgy, they are also fully ignorant of what God is.... other than the intense Peace, Love, and Joy they experience with God.
So God projected the Creation as a field of experiencing in which His Souls could explore and experience what the Energy of God could be. Since the Soul is undivided from God, what the Soul experienced, God experienced.
In order to fulfill the purpose of Life, each Soul was given two things. One was an "Apapsyche" [or Operational Energy of the Soul] -with two aspects by which it operates: The Attn Aspect (faculty of focusing); And the Awar Aspect (faculty of experiencing whatever the Attn Aspect was focused upon).
The second thing given to the Soul was a MIND, or that which allowed the Soul to experience a duality... since the nature of the MIND is the duality of Yin-Yang.
With its Apapsyche, and its MIND, every Soul is forced into the Creation and from God in order to fully acquaint each Soul with a complete experiential Knowledge of God. This "entrance" into the
Creation is spoken of in the Bible as an allegory that takes place in the Garden of Eden.
Peace

• First, because the skeptical inquirer does not find the traditional concept of God as "transcendent," "omnipotent," "omnipresent," or "omni-beneficent" to be coherent, intelligible, or meaningful. To postulate a transcendent being who is incomprehensible to the human mind (as theologians maintain) does not explain the world that we encounter. How can we say that such an indefinable being exists, if we do not know in what sense that being is said to exist? How are we to understand a God that exists outside space and time and that transcends our capacity to comprehend his essence? Theists have postulated an unknowable "X." But if his content is unfathomable, then he is little more than an empty, speculative abstraction. Thus, the skeptic in religion presents semantic objections to God language, charging that it is unintelligible and lacks any clear referent.
A popular argument adduced for the existence of this unknowable entity is that he is the first cause, but we can ask of anyone who postulates this, "What is the cause of this first cause?" To say that he is uncaused only pushes our ignorance back one step. To step outside the physical universe is to assume an answer by a leap of faith.
Nor does the claim that the universe manifests Intelligent Design (ID) explain the facts of conflict, the struggle for survival, and the inescapable tragedy, evil, pain, and suffering that is encountered in the world of sentient beings. Regularities and chaos do not necessarily indicate design. The argument from design is reminiscent of Aristotle's teleological argument that there are purposes or ends in nature. But we can find no evidence for purpose in nature. Even if we were to find what appears to be design in the universe, this does not imply a designer for whose existence there is insufficient evidence. The evolutionary hypothesis provides a more parsimonious explanation of the origins of species. The changes in species through time are better accounted for by chance mutations, differential reproduction, natural selection, and adaptation, rather than by design. Moreover, vestigial features such as the human appendix, tailbone, and male breasts and nipples hardly suggest adequate design; the same is true for vestigial organs in other species. Thus, the doctrine of creation is hardly supported in empirical terms.
Another version of the Intelligent Design argument is the so-called fine-tuning argument. Its proponents maintain that there is a unique combination of "physical constants" in the universe that possess the only values capable of sustaining life, especially sentient organic systems. This they attribute to a designer God. But this, too, is inadequate. First because millions of species are extinct; the alleged "fine-tuning" did nothing to ensure their survival. Second, great numbers of human beings have been extinguished by natural causes such as diseases and disasters. The Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 that suddenly killed over two hundred thousand innocent men, women, and children was due to a shift in tectonic plates. This hardly indicates fine tuning-after all, this tragedy could have been avoided had a supposed fine tuner troubled to correct defects in the surface strata of the planet. A close variant of the fine-tuning argument is the so-called anthropic principle, which is simply a form of anthropomorphism; that is, it reads into nature the fondest hopes and wishes of believers, which are then imposed upon the universe. But if we are to do this, should we not also attribute the errors and mistakes encountered in nature to the designer?

From my small understanding now is that our Creator Source wished to split him/herself in to many humans to expereince many things and the dynamic of the relationships between people and their expereinces. Like making lcones for multipule expereinces.... so we are God Also!
Love one another!

You need to learn some mythology. The earliest of the stories had the gods creating people to do the work on this planet because they were to lazy. When mankind became smart enough to do things for themselves the gods were angry and caused all kinds of chaos. They even decided to destroy this planet with a flood.

It seems obvious to me you haven't read your Bible. I further doubt you have considered the words of Jesus Christ. Try reading the New Testament. You could be in for some very interesting reading.
