A person like god would have gotten awful bored waiting for Earth to get more interesting
I would think that a personal god, in our image, would have gotten awful bored waiting around so long to create us humans for his entertainment. If he existed, he must have spent the longest time watching over billions of years when earth's inhabitants were mostly bacteria, molds, insects and small creatures. Then there were things like the dinosaurs, but I doubt their conversation was that interesting. Maybe he would have had to duck across the universe to other planets where more interesting, human style, things were going on for all that time. I'm thinking "human centric," right now. I doubt such a human like creature of a god ever existed. Not in the form we imagine at least.

Remembering "all your base are belong to us." My picture one of many flashed across that screen.
A picture from my web site got used in a video that went viral several years back. Picture of a freeway exit sign, in Montana, for "Bad Route Road." News stories about the video were a "flash in the pan" of national TV and magazines for a bit. Watching that video, these many years later, brings me on a "retro early 2000s computer culture trip."
The video is making fun of a Japanese game company which marketed a product in USA and didn't translate it into English very well. A phrase from the game reads, "All Your Base Are Belong To Us." It is placed on many images. That phrase is the basis for the entire video.
My image is just one of many images in that video, but it is now the thumbnail on the You Tube entry. I passed this sign during my 1993 bicycle trip across USA. Original picture. The video doctored that sign.
Video on YouTube.
