I'm asking for the why, not the evolution.there does not exist passages in any of the desert bibles properly describing the evolution of the universe, beginning or otherwise ... or a verifiable solitary figure's use for that purpose.
the multitudes of mythology with as may creators as creations is by far the most accurate description of the metaphysical forces and their involvement for all that exists in the universe and its creation.
That might explain what the universe does, but doesn't explain why God created it. Why did God need/want his glory to be reflected?Isaiah 43:7 notes that God said He created some people for His glory. From this we can take the next step ourselves: The universe reflects the glory of God. God is Creator, and Creators create. What God created reflects His glory and His majesty...it reveals who He is.
Do need/want even enter into it? A Creator creates, and that creation can be a reflection, not of need or want, but of who the Creator is. Consider your own life and the things you do. Perhaps focus on the times you have automatically extended a hand. Was this because you needed or wanted something? Or was it because that's just who you are?That might explain what the universe does, but doesn't explain why God created it. Why did God need/want his glory to be reflected?

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
what does the Bible say about why God created the universe?
I believe that, firmly.Genesis chapter 1 Verse 1-2
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
Some people say that means the first earth was destroyed & God created it again. There was a period of time between verse 1 and verse 2. And the earth was wiped out in that time.
If there is any truth to that...Earth must be pretty darn important to God...to create the Earth again after it was destroyed.
Wrong. The earth is a water planet. There is MUCH more locked in the mantle.oh,

primordial earth ... not a lot of water found on its surface - or anywhere else.
