A more interesting universe

If God had wanted to put everything into the universe from the beginning,
He would have created a universe without change,
without organisms and evolution,
and without man and man's experience of change.
But he seems to have thought that a live universe
with events unexpected even by Himself
would be more interesting than a dead one.

Karl Popper, in Omnipotence and Other Theological Mistakes, by Charles Hartshorne
