Was the Universe created only to support life on planet earth?

Question

Why was the universe created for only the animal life on earth to exist, if it wasn't created just for us then that means there is life out there.

Answer 1

If the universe was created only for our purpose, then it would not be so large that we cannot get everywhere, would it? I mean, there are galaxies billion of light years away, with billion of stars in them, if it was meant for us, how can we get there and take advantage of them?
Clearly, the universe is just there, and we happen to be around, though sheer luck. Those people who are so obsessed that their holy fairy tale book bible is the only truth are just delusional.
So, in the end, you conclusion does stand: there must be other life out there, but it may be very far. One day, someone will have an idea on how we can get there and explore. That is our real purpose, if we so choose.

Answer 2

We do not know if the Universe was "created" or if it simply came about. If created, we do not know the purpose.

However, the fact that we cannot prove something does not mean that it does not exist (i.e., we cannot prove that the universe was created by some power for some purpose, AND we cannot prove that it was not created by some power for some purpose).

More specifically, we cannot prove that life evolved because it is a purpose of the universe or simply because it occured by accident.

We can show that the conditions for life to evolve can exist in the universe. We can calculate that the probability is high that similar conditions could exist elsewhere (see, for example, the Drake equation).

We can show that, on Earth, life evolved from simple to complex and we can demonstrate a high probability that humans evolved from other species some time in the past.

We have very little information about life in the rest of the universe, therefore it is difficult to make scientific affirmations.

We are allowed to hope.

Answer 3

would not it completely wreck the thought God created guy in his photograph if there grow to be existence able to fixing into intellegent alive on different planets? If existence began in the backyard of eden, there should not be existence on yet another planet superb? the subject however, is this Universe is infinate, and there is an infintesimally small possibility of existence no longer being on a planet someplace different than Earth. This then poses the question... did god create the universe... is there a god, and if there is what created it?

Answer 4

True, the universe is incredibly large and the odds of finding numerous planets able to support life are high. The only problem is the distances to them make it impossible to find out four sure.

Answer 5

First, the Earth was not 'created', it evolved.

Second, the universe was not 'created', it evolved.

Third, animal life was not 'created', it evolved.

And yes, I believe, with every ounce of my being, that there is other life out there. To say otherwise is arrogant, self centered and downright ignorant. To think that BILLIONS of forms of life have literally exploded on this small planet in only a few million years AND that life occupying every extreme environment possible, that Earth is the ONLY place for life to have evolved? Life DEMANDS to happen, it INSISTS on happening. To think otherwise is preposterous and ludicrous.

Answer 6

It is a little naive to think that life only exist on earth. The universe is billions and billions of times bigger than just our galaxy and to think that life only exist in 1 little spec of dust in our universe is just absurd.

Answer 7

i don't believe there is another form of life out there coz there was nothing bout it in the Quran.
The universe was created to prove to humans the greatness of God

Answer 8

we were created by God.
Genesis 1 (KJV)
1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13And the evening and the morning were the third day. 14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day
