WHY GOD DO NOT DESTROY MAN AND HIS WORLD?

To understand why God do not destroy Man and his world we need to know why God created him in first place.
Genesis 2:15: The Lord God took the Man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.
2:16-17: And the Lord God commanded the Man, saying, "You may freely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die."
2:18-20: Then the Lord said, "It is not good that the Man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him."So out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the Man to see what he would call them; and whatever the Man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the Man there was not found a helper fit for him.
   To understand why God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the air to be a helper for him, we read Psalm 8:1-8: O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your Name in all the earth! You whose glory above the heavens is chanted by the mouth of babes and infants [Matt.21:12-16]. You have founded a bulwark because of the foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at the heavens [Psalms 19:1], the work of Your Fingers, the moon and the stars which You have established; what is Man that You are mindful of him, and the son of Man that You do care for him? Yet you have him little less than God, and do crown Man with glory and honor. You have given Man dominion over the works of Your Hands; You have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the sea.
According to this passages in the Scripture we can see that Man was invested with glory and honor and was given absolute dominion to his own world. What Man needed to do was to put his faith in God because from Him he came and without Him he is already death.
Romans 1: 17- 23 explains better what happens when Man is not with God.
It says: The Gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has Faith.
For in the Gospel the righteousness of God is revealed through Faith for Faith; as it is written, "He who through Faith is righteous shall live."
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of Men who by their wickedness suppress the Truth.
For what can be known about God is plain to them.
Ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made.
So they are without excuse; for although they knew God they did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal Man or birds or animals or reptiles. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the Truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen
