I know I will alienate myself from both the atheists and religious types here, but the God I believe in created space and time out of nothing - in essence, creating every single thought you could have.  It's asinine, given that, to project anything close to your idea of right and wrong to such a being.

The kind of being that could create the entirity of our universe having human values, thoughts, language, form, emotion, etc. is preposterous. Such a being would likely care very little about some self reproducing protein sacks on some random planet with an unusual amount of water, and if it did, only as a curiosity or something to toy with.

TL;DR a god that actually created everything would be closer Cthulhu then Jesus.

I've never found this argument particularly compelling; such a deity would not be limited by size or ability to perceive--they could, should they "desire" (were we to impose such an emotion onto them--something you have done with "curiosity" and amusement) understand each minuscule carbon-based life form's thoughts and hopes an dreams and actions. This deity wouldn't be forced to search throughout the universe for life, it would be totally and completely aware of every sub-atomic particle. Who's to say it would have no inclination to create or destroy as it sees fit, and for any purpose? The meatbags clinging near-helplessly to life on the blue orb may have been intended from the very beginning. Obviously, an uncaring deity might be as possible as a caring one, but do you consider it beyond the ability of a creator of all matter to place some value on its creations?

I find it unlikely that such a deity would place so much value on a single planet when it created the universe. From what we know about life, it seemed to begin when, by random chance, the right reactions to form self replicating protein sacks formed. And then, slowly, over several billion years, these protein sacks slowly evolved over several billion years of random changes and perfect conditions, until finally, actual prokaryotic cells formed. That doesn't look like an intended purpose. Why set up a planet with the right circumstances to maybe support life when you could actually create it? More likely, a creator would care primarily about the galaxies that it thought the universe needed (at least) a hundred billion of, rather then living beings which it only created on a single planet(or maybe a few). If our universe has a creator, its probably more interested in the giant mass of fusing hydrogen eight light-minutes away then what we do on Earth.

Why do you think you can figure out what an infinite being is interested in? As it stands, it appears the bolded lines are more a statement about you than God.
