Question To Theists

If life never existed, and never would or could exist, do you believe God would be here in the universe?
And if you say yes, why would he exist if we, or any other forms of life never did, would, or could exist?

My God wouldn't be here, no.

My God wouldn't be here, no. Can't really speak about other gods though. There are too many to give a conclusive, singular answer.

Question is would God have

Question is would God have still created the universe if he never met for people to live here? God existed prior to anything existing in this universe including the universe itself, so making a universe which couldn't contain life wouldn't make God cease to exist.

Define life.  Is life as we understand it necessary for sentience? Could this god make a self aware computer?
