Could have. Says you. But what you or I could've done is below the level of what God could've done - but didn't - for reasons known only to him.
Lots of what ifs. I have wondered what you say about why can't we just be spirits etc as well.
Its all a mystery and we should just have faith and not question?
Seems you're pre-judging many here. Unless you truly want to ask questions rather than just make statements, I'd recommend taking your rhetoric and baggage elsewhere. Many here are happy to discuss, but your dismissiveness is coming through loud and clear. (not just in your response above, but your other responses as well)

I don't expect my count to increase except possibly through pity.

And we don't get another chance by reincarnation. People who are born into poverty and misery have less chance to attain Gods kingdom and they don't get another chance. The human body should be designed to last much longer to give everyone enough time to mature and decide whether to be good or bad. For example teeth and bones should be made from stainless steel or stone that don't break easily or rot. I hate going to the dentist. Our bodies seem to be just copies of monkeys. Surly God could come up with something better for us? Why did God need to build a universe for these human bodies to live in? Seems like a lot of work just so our feeble bodies can live for a short time. Why do we need bodies at all? Why can't we just be spirits that don't rot and die and not bother about creating a universe for our bodies. We could still have a free will to decide if we want to be good spirits or bad spirits.

Have you ever tasted stainless steel? Ya...not great.

Anyway, I like the way God made us. I'm especially fond of the manner in which we make babies and express intimacy...and how God made the female body...etc. I like a lot, if not all, the nuances of being human.

The only thing we can do "better" than God at building a human is not at building a human, but building a robot and even then I'm quite certain God can do it better.

If God is so bad at creating efficient humans, why is it we love ourselves so much?
