If God created the world shouldn't He have made nice geometric designs instead of irregular shaped land masses?

Would give more evidence of his existence?

    He did in some ways, because I see squares everywhere. ;+

    Only man, whose brain is the size of a flake of God's dandruff, would need a straight shape to keep things organized in his dandruff-shaped brain.

    God, don't need no straight lines.

    Doughnut shaped land masses woulda been nice. Land masses with a hole in the center for a fresh water lake. 
    Maybe God had in mind for mankind to use their mind and machinery to construct some nice land patterns instead of wars and trying to blow each other up. If they can build a Great Wall and pyramids with hardly any machinery we could have had a very pretty looking planet by now as a tourist attraction for any low flying alien space explorers.

    It reminds me of this scene from Out of Africa where Meryl Streep is flying in this 1940's two-seater airplane with Robert Redford and they are flying over the Ngong Hills in South Africa and you see the bird's eye view of untouched perfection and she states to herself, "yes, this is how God must have intended it".

    My favorite movie.

    MAybe he did create symmetry and time wore it down. Or maybe this world is just a testing ground and the real symmetry is on another planet.

    So God made a mistake. Is that what you're trying to tell us? I mean, either God made a mistake or you did. Which is it?

    God does everything in his own mysterious ways and never learns anything from me.

    Actually nicw geometric designs are rarely the most functional design for something. The dramatic example is sluice gates in Dams: As people we tend to make them nice and rectangular, and that is exactly the wrong thing to do. A rectangle have only two frequencies it can resonate at, other frequencies get damped out. But with hundreds of tonnes of water flowing past the edges of an open gate all the power of the floating water end up resonating in the gate at those two frequencies. It does not take long before the gate have shaken itself to pieces. Eventually some smart engineers figured it out and modern dams have gates with more irregular shapes, specifically designed to dampen out as much vibration as possible. They are also less noisy that way, but that is a side benefit.

    But there are places where regularity is both harmless and pleasing to our eyes and ears:  eg Pianos and some other musical instruments that deliberately use the shape of the instrument to shape it harmonics. This post was edited by JakobA the unAmerican. at October 19, 2017 6:45 AM MDT

    Even in harmonics you will find irregularity in the shape of the pythagorean comma.

    Most of the time he used fractals.
