Did God decide to create man when it happened? How long did he/she contemplate the decision? What was his plan before it all blew up in his face?
 
For an argument such as the OP...first you need to prove that God exists. IE: who or what created God?

That's like contemplating how large the universe is and if it ends what's on the other side.

And that begs the question, how long is a day to the God of the Habiru and Christian.

Mine was a disingenuous reply to what I read as a disingenuous OP question. But on a more serious note, God presumably resides in eternity, a timesless state; so there is no "day" to Him. Moreover, time was created with the creation of the cosmos; so the five and a half days were cosmological time, following Genesis at any rate.
 
If you have an infinitely powerful mind then it would take an infinitely short amount of time to contemplate anything and everything.
 
Probably none. I doubt that such an entity would be capable of thinking about anything.

If you have the nerve to deny such a statement, then can you prove that god doesn't exist? and god was never created, let alone created by anyone, he just was.

I just think that you would need to first prove that God exists before you can prove that she/he/other created man. It's like putting the cart before the horse.

→ rhinefire;, et al,

So, built into these questions are the twin controversies (disagreements of the first order) of "intelligence design" and the presumption of a "Supreme Being" (SB) and/or a "Universal Cosmic Creator" (UCC).

(COMMENT)

※ Then there are second order conflicts which become implied by the nature of the questions; as in the example: Is the undefined SB/UCC (the creator of man) fallible?

※ Then there are third order conflicts arising from the intent. Does humanity have the capacity to evaluate the creations of a deity (SB/UCC)?

※ Fourth Order conflicts center on the differentiation between the "realm" of the deity (SB/UCC) versus the "realm" of humanity. This is often described as the real of the supernatural versus the natural world; both in terms of events and beings.
∷ What is the scientific differ between the class of Angels and Demons --- and the class of Witches and Warlocks?
∷ What is the scientific differ between the class of Religious Prayer and Worship --- and the class of mystic incantations and spells?
∷ What is the scientific differ between the class of Guardian Angel Pendants, Patron Saint Medallions, ​Disciple's Crosses and the Scapular of monastic orders --- and the class of magic amulets, ancient talisman, charms and runes?
∷ What is the scientific differ between the class of Religious Sacred Text (Bible, Torah, Quran, etc) --- and the class of Grimoires, Ars Notoria (Solomon), or the Book of the Dead
​

Even the simplest of questions present dilemmas of a complex nature.

None. I believe evolution uses natural selection, not thought.
