Scroobius Pip - modern day prophet?

The next installment in our modern day prophets series... Scroobius Pip is a hip-hop poet with some very interesting lyrics.

We mainly discussed the song 'A letter to man from God'. You can see the video here, or read the lyrics here.

Among the things we discussed...

If God knows everything that will happen in advance, can he really regret the things we have done wrong?

God must be delighted when we make new medical discoveries, for example, but disgusted when we do not allow them used where they are most needed in poorer countries.

Did God set up the universe and then step back and watch, perhaps tinkering now and again, as the song implies?

Have we damaged the world indelibly? Would it recover if humans suddenly vanished?
