I see all these questions and answers bashing Jesus Christ, God, the Holy Bible relating to HOW everything was created, but a famous scientist known as Stephen Hawking asks the question WHY. Personally, my answer is to glorify God through His Son, Jesus Christ. What's to lose if I'm wrong?? Can anyone answer this?

While your answer is a good one and I agree I would submit that God created everything for us. We are the only creatures created in God's image; a very honorable and dignified position that may have been the very reason Satan was rebellious.
GOD AND HIS IMAGE:
God cannot be compared to man in that: God is a being greater than what human imagination can conceive. God created everything out of nothing. It is by sheer will that God created the universe.
God is spirit. He cannot be seen. If you were to examine all the creatures, the CREATOR has made a pattern emerges: angels and demons are intellectual creatures without a body; plants and animals do not have an intellect but a body and mortal soul. IT IS ONLY LIVING, HUMAN, BEINGS, that have a MIND, BODY, and SOUL. Only human beings have all three. Now, living, human, being is the existence of man. Those words describe the essence of man's mind, body, and soul. The Body is living, the Mind makes us human and distinguishing us from animals, and our Soul makes us the being that we become (good or evil).
Now, even Muslims will agree Allah is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omnipresent (ever present). These words describe the existence of God. So, what is the essence of God? I will hold off answering this question till the end.
Now, if you think about the existence of a person they have a triple existence: physical (body), mental (mind), and spiritual (eternal soul). In fact, whenever we create something it has all three of these parts. When we cook we have a recipe (in our mind), we gather all the raw ingredients, and we cook (don't burn it, ha ha) what it is we are making. Cooking has the physical, mental, and spiritual parts. Same with engineering or technology it has three parts: the blueprints (to convey an idea), the raw materials (physical), and the workmanship (spiritual). If something goes wrong investigators will look for a design flaw, material flaw, or faulty workmanship. THIS DEMONSTRATES CREATION HAS THREE PARTS LIKE THE CREATOR.
Now, in the Bible it says Jesus is the visible likeness of the invisible God. (Colossians 1:15) The ESSENCE OF GOD IS: Father (mental), Son (physical), Holy Ghost (spiritual). ONE TRUE GOD IN THREE JUST LIKE A PERSON. THREE PARTS ONE PERSON. When you are sick you send for a doctor; when you are mentally troubled, a psychiatrist; when spiritually seeking you seek out a holy person.

Wait a minute. He created the Earth so the humans that he creates will have a place to kill his son when he sends his son down here? That really dosent make any sense. Why would a loving God do that? Why not just not create the Earth and keep the humans up there with him and have them glorify his son in Heaven? Why go through all this trouble?

God was not alone and He does not get lonely. There was communion between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He created mankind to share in that community and to share their joy.

God planned to create human and so when He created the universe, the Earth, we were in His mind... We need a place to live, don't we?

All things were created by GOD.
The purpose for the Earth is for us to live.
GOD created humans, and the earth so that we may have a place to live.
The other planets, stars, ect. are just for intertainment.
As a Mother must intertain her child GOD has given us intertainment.

Wow, you're basically admitting that god willingly made adam and eve eat the forbidden fruit so he could send his "son" to be tortured and crucified to death.
What is to lose? A lifetime where you could have gained knowledge and used rationality.

Your doing somethign wrong here friend, your asking the Universe to have a REASON to its existance.
Purpose is a Human trait, we just cant accept when thigns dont HAVE a purpose. The universe is here because, frankly, its always been. Time, Spacial Awareness and Conception do not exist in it.
To ask 'why' is a stupid question

It's just one of those things that happens. We are here to enjoy the experience and make something of it.
