Did God Experiment with His Creations?

God is not an experimenter. An experimenter has to face the fact that he might never get what he wants, and that if he gets what he wants, it might be through trial and error whereby he is learning what needs to be improved if he is ever to get what he wants.

God doesn't experiment. Why should He ever have to do that? He is the God of Economy, not a God of Disorder, not a God of Chaos (1 Cor. 14:33). The very existence of the kind of physical universe we have shows us that it was created in so finely a tuned manner precisely for the support of everlasting life in the physical universe. From the beginning of His creation of it, He must have made it without a roll of the dice, but rather in the most mathematically precise manner, with a laserlike focus on what He wanted to do with it, which was to place in it humans having everlasting life as the capstone of His physical creations. God Jehovah, our Creator, acts according to the way He has figured it out beforehand. "Jehovah of armies" implies that Jehovah has masterful organizational abilities for ordering things both in the spiritual and in the physical realms.

Isaiah 14:23 states: "Jehovah of armies has sworn, saying, "Surely just as I have figured, so it must occur.""

Consider also Jehovah's motivation for becoming the Creator of the physical universe: love! He created because of His love -- for the love He knew His rational creatures would come to see was at the core of His very being, and that they should love God in return, worshiping Him, and even themselves showing love to others. God is love. God's love does not comport with the thought that God was at any time experimenting with any part of the physical universe. He, as a God of Economy, carried out His purpose with a laserlike, rigorous focus on the most mathematically precise, "surefire" way for Him to accomplish what He purposed to accomplish -- all of it accomplished according to the way He had figured it all out beforehand (cf. Isaiah 14:23).
