When he made us, he populated the world with a lot of immorality and wickedness. Even dogs as a species behave better than we do, with more loyalty and support for each other.

Why did God make us capable of such evil? Why did He do that?
it was a long procedure, first human (Genesis 1) was not perfectly designed it was bicameral not far from animal, Adam had his CNS redesigned into introspective capable recognizing good and evil. Because of defective genetics "5The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" Noah had Adamic good genetics.

There is no doubt that human beings have the ability to create something - using the imagination.

Many, many people have "trouble" with Adam and Eve, so I'm not alone in that.

While awaiting further light on your question, consider the possibility that the creation story is religious truth presented in the form of myth.

"consider the possibility that the creation story is religious truth presented in the form of myth." that is it.

Great question.

Of course God is perfect, so I would hazard a guess He doesn't regret anything He does, since it is all His will and His Plan. Since God is perfect, His plan must also be perfect.

Like you said, we don't have the "big picture".

Well I have to admit, we did get off to a pretty bad start. I mean, Cain was a mass murderer. He murdered 25% of the earth's human population at the time. Even Hitler and Stalin together didn't kill that many people, relatively speaking.

I guess I have another question for God.

Why isn't Satan still a snake?

I mean, if He turned Satan into a snake after Satan caused Eve to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and then Adam ate it, then why is Satan an evil spirit running around loose through space and time, rather than still a snake crawling on his belly?

I mean, he would do a lot less damage as a snake slowly slithering around from one country to the next. He couldn't do much around the world if he was stuck slithering down Columbus Street in San Francisco.

Or maybe Satan is only so cursed only after Judgment Day. I don't know...

consider that Bible first of all is guide of improving of human consciousness.
that is why bad things needing fixing are clearly shown, Cain, Sons of Israel betraying their brother Josef e.t.c.

There is no entry in the record of animals being in heaven maam. Animals were created on the earth, even before humans.
