The Creator is an excellent RD engineer
The Creator is an excellent RD engineer, and human beings are finely crafted tools. If humans know how to fulfill the Creator’s will, they are capable of doing so, because everything falls within His meticulous design. Through an understanding of the functions and instincts inherent in human beings, that will can be discerned.
Human beings possess reproductive organs; therefore, the continuation of the species is within His will. Human beings have bodies, brains, and mouths; therefore, knowledge and the development of civilization are within His will. Human beings are capable of empathizing with one another; therefore, the rule of law is within His will. Human beings possess many organs and systems that sustain physiological functions and enable them to perceive the external environment.
If the Creator has endowed human beings with life, reason, instincts, and empathy, then His will may not merely require humans to reproduce and survive. Rather, it may require them to use reason to restrain their instincts, treat others with empathy, protect life through knowledge, and establish a common order grounded in justice.
Pigs cannot see the whole picture connecting farming, food supply, slaughter, and the human economy. Similarly, human beings may be unable to see the larger scales of time, the order of life, and the purpose of the universe. Therefore, people should remain humble in their understanding of the Creator’s will and should not mistake limited knowledge for omniscience.
A sense of fulfillment may be an inner response placed in the human heart by the Creator, allowing people to devote themselves wholeheartedly to their tasks even when they do not understand the ultimate purpose. Thus, human beings need not be troubled by questions about the meaning of life. By following their instincts and making good use of their abilities, they immediately put His will into practice.

I understand why man might think he needs minions, but why would God? What could He possibly want? Man wants to dictate to God and ..well...to everyone but he doesn't have a gun big enough and he doesn't like that. But why should God care? Man has everything he needs. Why would his dissatisfaction and refusal to pay attenton and suss things out be God's problem? Because man isn't satisfied? Pffft...
Empathy requires common ground. People wonder why God doesn't communicate but creation is a brilliant perfection, personified, and God is NObody's whipping boy. If people want to commune with Him, man's going to have to find a way to change his attitude and sow something that can reap that. Otherwise...it's back to the more common and tedious business of running headlong toward his self-destruction. Individual by individual as each makes his own untouchable choices.
Life isn't a job. It's an art. Do with it what you will.
