Seeing something like this reminds me of what C.S. Lewis wrote in GOD IN THE DOCK. I've inserted [man] for some clarification in the quote that is apparent from the context of the statements:
"The ancient man approached God (or even the gods) as the accused person approaches his judge. For the modern man, the roles are reversed. He [man] is the judge: God is in the dock. He [man] is quite a kindly judge; if God should have a reasonable defense for being the god that permits war, poverty and disease, he [man] is ready to listen. The trial may even end in God's acquittal. But the important thing is that man is on the bench and God in the dock."
To ask the question posed here (or those of that nature) are to assume the role of Judge over the Creator.
