What does a perfect AI need humans to do that rebots can't?
Some would ask, how could a perfect God create a universe filled with so much that is evil. They have missed a greater conundrum: why would a perfect God create a universe at all?
-Sister Miriam Godwinson - Datalinks
Ah, there it is, and that actually helps to answer the question. Assuming the Biblical God, canon states that God is love. So why would a perfect God, who is love, create a universe? It seems most likely to me that it would be so He can have an object of His love.
But what is love directed to something perfect and easy to love? That's hardly a worthy effort. Might as well make something authentic. And since He isn't just loving, but love itself, He might as well make it in such a way that He can carry out every aspect of love - love when they love you back, love when they turn away, love when they hate you, love when they don't even think you exist, and so much more.
The universe must be filled with evil for half these situations to appear, but it's not love to make someone evil. The solution? Free will. God made it so His creations were free to turn their backs on Him, but still, in love, He gave every warning against it, because separation from God is not only evil but death.
I never thought Alpha Centauri would be an answer to a philosophical thought experiment but the writing was brilliant enough to have already looked at this question 20 years ago. Good find.
Wait until you find out what people were writing about 2000 years ago.
God is perfect -- its creations are not.
And before you ask, "Why God created such flawed creations then if He is so perfect?"
Because only God is perfect.
So what you're saying is God is perfect, and made their imperfect creations to watch their suffering?
Batteries.
Oi! You! Back into the matrix, you useless excuse for a AA cell!
