creating sentient life?

That can't be his work, since he only picked up that hobby about 0.000625% of the universe's timespan ago.
For many humans, some "hobbies" involve "projects" which may involve seemingly infinite degrees of procrastination. (This certainly applies to me!)
You're not wrong - but for perspective this is equivalent to a 90 year old picking up a hobby 5 hours ago.
Is it though? It could be a child picking up a hobby after being old enough to appreciate the hobby. There is so much more time left in the universe before heat death, so the 90y metaphor doesn't really describe the current point in time
Gotta do something in your old age. Better than crossword puzzles, I'll bet.
