    Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him? - Isaiah 40:13

    If I had to council God on how to build a earth like planet I would have a whole lot to take into consideration...

    1. Elements- Create about 100 unique elements placed in correct proportion, considering there are 133,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms on planet Earth.
    2. Atmosphere- Made up of at least nitrogen, oxygen, and CO2
    3. Crust - consisting of mixtures of air, water, inorganic and organic solids, and microorganisms.
    4. Sea - Currently studying the benefits of saltwater for my jacuzzi
    5. Life - Create creatures with tens of trillions of cells considering that I would need
    A. Stem Cells - A bodies raw materials
    B. Red Blood Cells - A means of moving at least O and CO2 through the body.
    C. White Blood Cells - As a means of protecting the body.
    D. Platelets - So to stop bleeding
    E. Neurons - Cells responsible for receiving sensory input from the external world, for sending motor commands to our muscles, and for transforming and relaying the electrical signals at every step in between.
    F. Muscle cells- Muscle tissue is composed of cells that have the special ability to shorten or contract in order to produce movement of the body parts.
    G. Cartilage - To provide shape to some parts of the body, and acts as cushion between bones in joints.
    H. Bone Cells - Osteoblasts are cells, which contribute to deposition of organic components of bone extracellular matrix.
    I. Skin Cells - The most common type of skin cell is the keratinocyte, whose primary function is to form a tough, waterproof layer against UV radiation, harmful chemicals, and infectious agents.
    J. Endothelial Cells - The endothelium is a thin membrane that lines the inside of the heart and blood vessels. Endothelial cells release substances that control vascular relaxation and contraction as well as enzymes that control blood clotting, immune function and platelet (a colorless substance in the blood) adhesion.
    And speaking of Blood vessels I would need tens of thousands of miles of those. Not to mention I would need as many as 200 of other type cells in a living organism I would have no council on how to create something with life, and the ability to sense visually, auditory, kinesthetics, smell, the spiritual, etc. And to store memories of such experience.
    So, if I were to council God I would have to use generalities as there are too many specifics required for life.

    @rockytopva
    At a glance, all that you seem to be proposing, is based on what God had had done in some way. So I do not understand the purpose of your thread.

    But.... What had God done? "And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth... " Pretty good generality... Uncomprehendable specifics!

    Hmmm... Like telling a race team to let the race cars be race cars…

    Generality - Some winning race car
    Specifics - All that goes into making the winning race car.

    In which, if you wanted to re-create a winning race team you would have a lot to take into consideration. Trying to highlight all the specifics that went into the creation.

    Generality - Stars
    Specifics- Everything that goes into and in orbit

    In which case... I am excited about projects such as the James Webb Space Telescope that will point to generalities and then focus into specifics.
