Another thought about the God of the OT: If God exists, who says he 
can't learn from experience?

(Heck, when he originally made humans he "saw that it was good", only to 
later find that something had gone utterly wrong and that he had to 
press the Big Flood Reset Button - only to later find that this was such 
a horrible thing to do that he promised to never do it again - et cetera.)
