Why did Linus Torvalds invent Linux?

Can a computer program develop the initiative to execute tasks in a better way than its programmers envisioned?
To an extent, yes - and in the future, computer programs might get better at this. An interesting case is the program that beat the Go world champion (Go is a well-known Japanese board game); the program was designed to learn game strategy by playing, and seeing what works and what doesn't; and now, the original programmers have no idea HOW the program determines the best moves!
Which member of the Peanuts gang once said 'There's no heavier burden than a great potential'?

How android is better than java?
This is not really a good comparison. It's like asking if a telephone is better than a TV. OK, well Android is an operating system, based on Linux (similar to Unix). Java is a programming language - a set of rules that programmers use to create the programs (apps). The operating system controls the basic functions and how the phone (or tablet) interacts with files and the user.

How did Saint Linus become a saint?
A: All we know, or believe we know, about Pope Saint Linus comes from the Liber Pontificalis, which is a work of almost pure fiction. Even the Catholic Church acknowledges that the statement contained therein, that Linus suffered martyrdom, cannot be proven and is improbable. We are left with no reliable information about Linus and can not even be sure that he really lived.Francis A. Sullivan SJ, author of From Apostles to Bishops, says that most scholars are of the opinion that, in spite of Church tradition, the early church of Rome was led by a group of presbyters, and that bishops were not appointed to the church in Rome until later in the second century. In other words, there can have been no Pope Linus, although it is conceivable there was a presbyter of than name. Beyond this, we can say nothing reliable about Linus.
Why do some programmers prefer to write a program from scratch rather than modify a program written by someone else?
Professional programmers would never write code from scratch if they could avoid it, but there may be legal reasons why an existing program cannot be modified. Amateur programmers and hobbyists. however, will often write programs from scratch purely to exercise their problem-solving abilities.
