Nonsense. Didn't you ever spend hours in a sandbox or in the dirt building an entire city and then purposefully turn on a water hose or drop a giant beetle, a box of ants, your gerbil, into your perfect creation just to see what happened? Not all creators preserve their creations with reverence. Some build perfection for the joy of watching it be destroyed. They are called 'little boys', I believe. ;)
Hmm. The notion that the entirety of the universe is a child's plaything isn't particularly comforting. Still, if it is a little boy, then he's already set the destruction in motion by adding the ants (humans) to his sandcastle. Now he'll most likely just watch.
Although, after seeing what little girls do to their dolls, I just hope our planet isn't the galactic equivalent of a Polly Pocket playset.
Either way, it seems the universe will end not with a bang, but with a tantrum.

Not necessarily. After you turned on the water hose and the water gushed through the streets of your perfect creation wreaking havoc, didn't you rush to re-enforce your sand dykes, redirect the flood with a block of wood, or dig a trench to allow the water to destroy some things and leave others intact? Wasn't it thrilling to watch the destruction be minimalized by your efforts? After you turned off the hose didn't you sometimes lose interest and wander off and sometimes, with great delight, take on the challenge of restoring your demolished world to it's previous perfection?
