Perhaps it was not possible to create another kind of physical creature due to a rules based environment.
If the only guarantee in this existence is that eventually one will suffer it may well be a primary purpose for the spiritual self to know the physical realm.
One difficulty I have in the common perception of God is that many consider God to be a self-contained entity....... such as ourselves. This to me is ludicrous. In a way we are all a tiny piece of God, including all atoms of matter, basically Energy and a place for it to exist IS God.
No human is endowed with any Rights from God or elsewhere. We are all given opportunities, many are lucky enough to enjoy varying levels of freedom and privileges.
I think we should realize that a beating heart is not important, the spiritual heart is what's important.
Well that's about enough of my broken rambling.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Day

Spinoza on pantheism:
"All quotes are from Spinoza, Ethics, translated by R. H. Elwes.
Nothing exists but God
God is one, that is, only one substance can be granted in the universe. [I.14]
Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived. {I.15]
God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things. All things which are, are in God. Besides God there can be no substance, that is, nothing in itself external to God. [I.17]
God is the force preserving things in existence
Although each particular thing be conditioned by another particular thing to exist in a given way, yet the force whereby each particular thing perseveres in existing follows from the eternal necessity of God's nature. [ii.45]
Individual things are expressions of the attributes of God
Individual things are nothing but modifications of the attributes of God, or modes by which the attributes of God are expressed in a fixed and definite manner. [i.25.]"
