For a God who could speak into existence things previously not there and maintain it all by the power of His Word, why would He do that?
But you're right. If God could speak man into existence, why didn't He? The answer might just be, 'because God doesn't exist.'

You should use what is between your ears rather than relying on goat-herder mythology.
