Why does Father???
I just had a realization this morning and need your thoughts on this.
If we think about the heavens and earth more like a Russian doll type of scenario.
Let's imagine you are standing in front of a doll house, which represents the heavens. Inside of that doll house is another smaller doll house, which represents earth. And again inside of that doll house is another smaller doll house, which represents the Holy of Hollies in the temple.
For what reason would you "play" inside of the smallest doll house of the three?
Father created the heavens and the earth, so He exists outside of "space" and is represented as you standing outside the larges doll house. He then has His presence visible on the throne in heaven.
Why then come down to earth to walk with Adam and one day with us, if He has the larger heaven at His disposal? What makes us/man "special"?
And then on top of that, why then enter the temple and only be there?

The one part that I don't understand is where you say "He wanted something with intelligence and a mind to turn against Him...". If it was Father's plan that Adam turn against Him then why was He angry at it? If it was part of the plan then I would have expected applause in heaven as Father's plan is moving to the next stage of the experiment.
I personally believe that Adam and Eve was able and most likely did many things which we are told is sin, before they ate from the tree. Lying came natural as Eve showed when she spoke with the serpent and hold him that there weren't allowed to eat nor touch the fruit. The instruction was not to eat of it, nothing was said about touching it.
It is like a toddler that doesn't know right from wrong yet. They can do absolutely anything and it can't be accounted against them. But a parent can see when they start to understand "wrong" as they will sneakily inch closer to whatever they know they aren't allowed to touch or do and then look you right in the eyes and do it. That is when it is accounted as sin to them.
I do not believe that Father wanted Adam nor Eve to sin, but He had a plan-B in the event that they did.
All of that said, it still doesn't address my question of why Father would chose to "limit" Himself by entering and showing His glory from the innermost "doll house" as described in my post.

As for the doll house perspective you present is from a human 3D perspective and interpretation with our limited mind and fathoming. God is all in all and if you look up how a 4D being would look or see a 3D person would be like you.... observing a 2D cartoon its that dramatic and that is only thinking of one level about 3D... imagine infinite levels above 3D seeing all angles at once, all depths at once, and all sound depth, sight just blows my mind and unable to fathom the expression.
