some people (who?) see god as slowly but surely turning over the running of the urth to the inhabitants.

that is, to the inmates? no, not really. i don't want to insinuate that thought at all.

but if in the early days god was the father, and we were here to learn,

then later as we got up off our elbows & knees and began to walk,

the he could turn over more and more of the responsibility to us?

that is, the responsibility of running a planet can be intense.

he divided things up into "quadrants" that is parcels.

parcels, we all know about parcels, etc.

he might want to lift-off and leave it to us?
