it's a good point you have though... do some research on that, and see what you come up with.

That's fairly straightforward.  

God cares about this creation of his, and is not willing to let it all burn.  Since it is broken, he intends to fix it.  Waving a magic wand to make all the problems go away would not be fixing it, it'd be replacing it with an alternate version where nothing ever went wrong.

Dealing with rebellious angels is all part and parcel of dealing with the fundamental fracture of the whole cosmos.  So, Satan & Co. are still around for the simple reason that God is not finished yet.

Heh.  I always thought that was the stupidest creationist argument ever.

We're still in a transitional phase regarding creationism. The same was true for the geocentric belief and the the common wisdom that the Earth was flat; eventually the masses were unable to hold the flood gates open so they retreated and entrenched themselves somewhere else.

I didn't think the passage of time would be a concern to the omnipresent.

Sorry but I don't buy that. If God really did care why did he stand around and do nothing while the snake tempted Eve?

Why didn't he give them some clothes to start with?

Maybe he's a voyeur?

Aldo has a good point on that, even though it probably should be "omnipotent" there, as being everywhere at once doesn't seemt hat useful in this situation.

[Liberator]

Actually it would be immortal, but that's a nitpick.

[aldo_14]

Whatever 'omni' means existing in all time / independent of time.  Point is not so much being able to live forever, but to see forever.

EDIT; BW, I thought 'being everywhere at once' would include being everywhere in time.
