A Little Godly Math

This is pretty hilarious. Most religious people believe that the reason God created humans was because he was "bored" or wanted to hang with us. Wow, the Almighty experiences boredom and various other ridiculous human emotions? Odd.
Well, if that were the reason-boredom-he hasn't been all that entertained:

On a Bored God:

# 12-14 billion years ago god created the Universe
# 5 billion years ago he started with our Earth
# 3 million years ago he started with humankind
# 150,000 years ago he started with the current version of humankind
# 5,000 years ago he revealed himself to humankind (so they say)
# And for only 2,000 years he has been able to "enjoy" Christian people

On a timescale of the Universe (100 percent):

# the Earth has existed for 42 percent of the time
# Apeman existed since 0.025 percent of the time
# Humankind itself has existed for 0.00125 percent of the time
# The Christian faith has existed for 0.000042 percent of the time (rounded upwards)
# The time God has been able to enjoy Christian people is 0.000017 percent (rounded upwards).

Thus, god has, for 99,999982 percent of time (rounded downwards = 1,199,999,784,000 years), been bored, has done nothing. He has been waiting for us, only to leave us behind "alone" once again. Why? For eating an apple, that's why! I know time is nothing to God, but this is preposterous.
