    When there is no mentioning of something (other sources of light of fine-tuning of the initial model) it doesn't mean there weren't any. Just like there is no mentioning in the Bible that the newly created earth circuted the sun or that the day-and-night cycle was 24 hours, but it doesn't mean it was otherwise.

    As for calling something good and then modding it: Look at Playstation or iphone or even the game that brought you here (MTW).

    These are all created by humans, not a perfect god.
    I've always been taught that these stories are there, and indeed the point of a Christian's life is, to serve the glory of God.
    Now you come and tell me he was tweaking it for ages because he couldn't get it right the first time even though he, all-knowing and omnipotent, called it good when he finished it for the first time?

    If God created something, it doesn't mean it is/was perfect.

    It would be indeed a selfish God if all he needs humans for is to prove something (to who?) or serve somebody.

    All-knowing and omnipotent as he ostensibly was, he couldn't prevent the Fall of man nor subsequent calamities. So it is quite possible he was the First Modder ever.
