And so your god can "intend" how things should go and they don't go that way. A weak god. You don't seem to see the problem with that. Theologians have worried about that for some time. How can free will exist if God is all powerful. Some decided that everything was predetermined by God before the creation. Thus, before anyone is born, God has decided whether they will be eternally happy in heaven or whether He will torture them for eternity. And yet, somehow, these people also fit in the concept of salvation by Jesus.

He predicted that it wouldn't have caught on and therefore chose another plan of action. Why is that a faulty analyzes?

So your god is nothing more than a prognosticator who is sometimes wrong, who actually analyzes, thinks, plans, chooses, etc. That's not an all powerful god.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough.

No problem. Nobody is ever "clear enough" when it comes to inventing magical beings.

My question was: what did you expect? Pretend you're God's PR man. What would you advise him to do? What would be the way you got the word out? I just think if you go through this hypothetical, you will see your answer isn't too different then the one recorded in the Bible and present day.

Why would I want to be a PR man for a mythical being? Why would I want to convince people to accept without any reason to do so? Why would I encourage them to stop thinking for themselves and accept magic as the answer?
