What was God’s plan behind Creation and why does he need one?

I have always taken a more humorous, Douglas Adams approach to this question.What if this universe was the product of a high school science project. Obviously, this would have to be a student from a very advanced race, but nonetheless a high school science project. The contest rules stated that the winner would be the universe with the largest black holes and no life. Perhaps, just perhaps, our universe was a loser. We ruined the whole thing. That poor kid got an F (or whatever alphanumeric grade is used by ultra-advanced species) because we screwed it up for him.Perhaps we are looked on in the same way that we look upon mold in our shower. Food for thought.

This former protestant was given the same boilerplate answers. After a while I just nodded my head and went through the motions. Looking back I wonder how many other members of that congregation were doing the same.It just seems really weird that an all powerful, all knowing creator would produce a massive universe just so one day he could get pissed off watching a hairy little primate teen ager whacking off in a tiny little corner of the Universe. Billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, each with planets of their own, and this supreme creator is worried about us eating pork? Sometimes it's a little hard to figure out.
