From a Christian perspective, it is probably the atoning sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, which gives us the ability to repent of sins and start anew.

I dont believe there is a God that did anything for humanity. but I think the best gift from the universe, is the gift of mortality.
mortality makes sense out of the great cycles of life through out the universe to living organisms.

The gift of free will, the right and the authority to judge for himself that which is good or bad, unlike the animals who are but slaves to their genetic and ancestral inheritance.
What! Out of senseless nothingness to provoke
A conscious something to resent the yoke
Of unpermitted pleasure, under pain
Of everlasting penalties, if broke
What! From his helpless Creature be repaid
Pure gold for what he lent him dross-allay'd
Sue for a debt he never did contract,
And cannot answer--Oh the sorry trade!
Oh Thou, who didst with pitfall and with gin
Beset the road I was to wander in,
Thou wilt not with predestined evil round
Emesh, and then impute my fall to sin
Oh Thou, who man of baser earth didst make,
And ev'n with paradise, you devised the snake:
For all the sin wherewith the face of man
Is blacken'd--Man's forgivemess give--and take....Omar Khayyam

The gift of free will to freely serve God and not Blindly
The intelligence to think for ourselves rather than rely purely on instinct
the bible to help us through this system so that we know who God is and what His plan for the earth is
His willingness not to give up on everyone by destroying us before we can learn about His love for us
His unconditional love of all Human beings and His infinate wisdom patience long suffering and compassion at mankind's sinful condition
His ability to freely forgive us of our sins
The sacrifice of his only begotten son and "master worker" to death (non existance) so that we can attain what he always purposed for us
honestly I could keep going there is so much to thank Jehovah for each day I never know wherte to start

Giving us Nietzsche.
It is arguable, but that he created us in the first place.

notion of Religion - but in process creating Extremist and Terrorists.
notion of Free Will - Even though it an illusion and meaningless
Salvation - the only thing to be saved from is God himself
Hell/Heaven - Whats the point, god created man, his he testing us, his he a computer player, and we are sims
Nuclear Elements - if god created Earth, then why did he create these.
Earth - The Planet is too small, overpopulation
Food - even though people are starving, jesus fed 1000s with bread and fish, why not do it today.

So sacrificing yourself to yourself to appease yourself, to save your own creation from yourself and to change a rule you yourself made really gets stuff done!
For me, assuming there was a god, I guess the best gift would be sapience.

I know, Adam was the only man to feed her daughter, Eve with Nipple, unfortunatly
he Inter-bred with her.
Science Say that Interbreeding is very unhealthy, and can cause birth defects and poor health of offspring, maybe why god wiped them with flood, humans were Mutated

...Uh...I'll go with the act of sexual intercourse.
That's assuming that God exists, which is a pretty big assumption.

That's one of the reasons I do not subscribe to the notion of the Trinity.
the humans of that time were mutated because the angels that became demons took earthly wives and bred with them
We all come from the same people anyway, all our family trees all link ack to Adam and Eve
your not inbred neither am i

prove it.
Or at the very least, show where it has been proven.
Seems to me that you are merely making claims that cannot be proven false, therefore you think that means they are true.

Apart from the obvious, i.e. our creation itself, the opportunity to incarnate and experience all the apparent joys and sufferings necessary to, and predicated for, the learning and unfolding of an awareness that ultimately transcends duality and allows reintegration with the eternal Glory of the Whole.
