If you had just created the universe and everything in it, would you take the time to teach the brand new humans arithmetic, calculus, quantum physics, relativisitc physics, astrophysics, molecular biology, etcetera ad nauseum? Or would you teach some basic morals to get them started and allow them to use their brains to decipher the rest?

I really do not know what to say here.. except that.. um.. we have to make a choice here..
It is either the universe being created by the big bang theory.. or the universe blowing out of some middle-eastern dieties' a**.. What do you think? Maybe it's neither! OMG!

Landscaping? Or would that be Universe-scaping?

This is a non sequitur. You seem to be denying the existence of other life because the Bible doesn't mention it.

You are welcome to believe whatever you like. Personally, I believe very strongly in God and science. I do not see any inherent contradictions. I feel that God created the laws the universe abides by and developed them specifically to do His will. I do not believe in a strictly literal translation of Genesis. The opening chapter is like the massively abridged version of creation with the beginnings of morality. I feel science wasn't revealed in the beginning because a) it wasn't important to early man and b) it allows us the joys of exploration and gives us the chance to develop and utilize our intellects.

I don't know, after deciding to burn the vast majority of my creations in Hellfire for all of eternity for not beleiving in me, even tho I will give them no tangible reason for believing in me. Oh, and I will also make sure that my creations suffer and many of them will die horrible needless and early deaths, because their leaders will get into pissing contests over how best to worship me. After all that, I guess I would get around to worrying about teaching them math, medicine, etc. . . . Altho with infinite powers, I guess there is no reason why I couldn't endow them all with all the knowledge and tools they need for a long and fruitful life at birth, but, nah, that would make too much sense.

Lets just make them frail, and fragile, and emotional, and violent, and every once in a while lets have some of them kidnap and torture and mutilate one another just for their own sadistic pleasure. Never mind that I could, with a blink of my all powerful eye make all such suffering end, for some reason unbeknowndst to you mere mortals, I allow many of my children to be infathomably cruel to one another.

I personally would not treat a dog in that way, much less my own children. I suspect anyone reading this would feel the same way, yet you lend such attributes to your all powerful, yet undiscoverable diety. Spend about 5 minutes a year on critical thinking on the issue of how you would have designed man and woman, the universe, etc. . . . and you will come up with about a dozen things you could do better, given the attributes of infinite power and wisdom, of course, then explain why an Abrahamic God and Biblical Literalism needs to be taken seriously.

Clumps of isolated atoms intended to entertain those who lack belief. Cause it's a much prettier picture to die a meaningless death, then to see hope at the end of the tunnel. A world without hope is much more evil then anything we can muster.
