Nor do we have to consider what 'some say'.

Some revisionist probably would agree with you.

The first scripture in the Bible claims that in the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. That is the same God Jesus spoke about.

No doubt.

But letting 13billion years go by without making a move and then handing your son over to a community of illiterate and unwashed sheep-shearers is asking for trouble.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

No, not random, in earnest.

The universe created by God (apparently) gets to be 13 billion years old before in what is now known as year 0 'he' (God) makes an (official) appearance. In the meantime civilisations have spread up all over the planet Plato, Aristotle and Socrates have defined morals, the slave trade and society. The Egyptians have such a command of maths that the can position and build a great pyramid consisting of 2,200,00 blocks weighing up to 50/80 tons to within a centimetre of North, in India - and so on. All over the place in many parts of the world the human brain/mind has started to perceive - that's what I meant.

people are accustomed to wanting things to happen 'now'. But from what I gather, god thinks things take time to mature.... after all doesn't it take time to 'age' a fine wine?

Perhaps part of being a curious species is--on the one hand a desire to know and understand, and on the other--discomfort at not knowing.

Such discomfort may result in being prepared to accept the best possible answer available at the time--how long such answers remain accepted will depend upon a number of factors.

Discussion concerning what these factors might be seems relevant to this thread.

As a starter, what role does "dependence" itself play, and for whom ?

There's a large number of religions that predate the Christ version of God.
