I'd say a fitting sentence would be to let the Earth decide for Herself of Man's Fate this time around.
Don't you think?
The Earth is a mechanical and physical system. It has no intellect or cognition of its own. It has no organs from which such capability could arise.
If that were so, then God Himself has no intellect or cognition of his own.
Lest His Son is considered an extension of himself.
As such, why wouldn't the Earth beget a daughter in Whom she can Dwell?
Is it so far fetched to believe it be so?
Does Man know All Things so as to rebuke such things without any doubt?

The earth is a biopshere. Made up of the totally of its parts including you and me. So in this sense it is not a mechanice system.
Just becuase you cannot see something does not make it unreal.
Maybe you should have a look at the connectivity of root systems in old growth forests for example and the mychorizzal networs that run through them. The trees have the ability to communicate across these networks, share medicine and nutrient and that is what we understand sofar. You know plants can fire neurons down their root systems into these networks. Whats going on here atm is anyones guess.
But your Cartesian mechanical view of the world died in Victorian times. You really need to catch up.
The Biosphere is a tiny skin of stuff on the surface of the planet. The interior of the planet is not conducive to life. Outside of the atmosphere, is the hard vacuum of space, also not conducive to life.
God is not dependent upon the existence of the physical universe.

God is not dependent upon the existence of the physical universe. The physical universe is dependent upon the existence of God, it's Creator and sustainer.
And man does not know all things, but we do know some things.

You limit youself with your own words.
No the biosphere can be seen as much bigger than that. Certainly I am sure you can understand that we fall within the heliosphere of Sol. That is a much bigger atmosphere. The suns are all connected up with Birkland currents creating a beatiful web of light / energy and probably a lot more. A larger ecological unit again.
If you want to exist in a dead mechanical universe then god for you. Thats your story. I wonder where your mechanical science will leave you when the implications of the observer in the world of quantum mechanics alters the state of reality. Matter is the epiphenomena of consciousness.
Expand your mind..

I dareso say that He very much IS dependent upon us All; we are an extension of his Being on his Journey of Self-Discovery.

In most ancient culture God is not there what is worshipped for better words is the meta netu. That Egyptain of Kmt for the spirit that resides in the world.
Its funny we live in a culture where we think we are somehow separate from nature. We have also with this thought line separated ourselves in spirit too.

No, that is an impossibility and an inversion of causality.
God existed when we didn't. God existed when there was no universe. God is not dependent upon us or anything in the universe because God spent an infinity (actually an atemporality) of existence before anything else.
God is the only thing that is truly self-defining. God is the 'I Am' and absolutely everything else flows from there.
Also, God doesn't change, either. God is always the same, even before anything else was. God will always be the same. Atemporality (being outside of, and unconstrained by, time) requires that.

To Be Alone in Primordial Times... Must've been lonely.

And, also, if we are "but a dream in the mind of God", then we can't assuage that type of loneliness for God because we don't really exist, except as a thought.
And what a thought!
Don't you think?

Well, his name won't be Jesus when he comes back for sure. I have only known one guy named Jesus legally, he lived on a houseboat in Sheboygan WI. he liked to go to the bar and have drinks and was a very nice guy, very honest too. I suppose if Jesus comes back he might smoke pot and drink beer like this guy did. After all, in the bible, Jesus says some call him a wine bibber and a glutton.
Well, that was in eighty one and he was older than I was by at least three years so Jesus would be ancient now and probably on Social Security unless someone crucified him or tossed him in prison for smoking pot.
