why would God create billions and billions of stars and planets if man was the reason for creation?

Answer 1

I agree 100%

It is incredible that some believe that God only created on this little fly spec of a planet in this miniscule solar system when compared to an infinite universe with billions of other galaxies.

I think God created life out there too. One of two things is going on.

1. a terrible waste of space

2. God has BIG plans for humanity

Answer 2

Well lets compare the two.

Stars . . . . they glow, move and then explode. Pretty formations, marvelous to look at.

Planets . . .. classed as stars? Well they have a similar function. Earth being different to sustain life.

Humans . . . . they can communicate, think, question, create, all parts of the body intricately unique to any other creation, a species, can love, I would go on but I think you get the picture . . . .

If you don't . . . . billions and billions of stars and planets do not compare to the best creation which was a unique human species created in his image and loved by the one and only God.

Those stars and planets (if they could) wish they were humans!

Answer 3

A few guesses--

Stars are the factories which make the building blocks needed for life: all the atoms in our bodies that aren't hydrogen or helium were made in stars.

At least one star, the Sun, provides the energy needed to keep life on Earth going.

Could it be that, even if you postulate that "man was the reason for creation" that some other stars are there to provide energy for people on planets around them?

Lots of physics has been discovered or tested by observations of objects and events in space. Maybe they're there to teach us science?

Answer 4

I personally believe God, being the ultimate & master creator has a lot more going on "out there" than just what He created on the Earth...Man may have been "central" to God's creation of the earth & all things that inhabit it, but we'd have to be pretty "narrow-minded" & self-centered to believe that God, being "GOD" with the grand ability to create & do all things, would limit Himself to the earth & man. If you were an artist, musician author,engineer, etc with limitless creativity, imagination & all power to bring things into being, would YOU just stop with just one creation? Personally, I just think "Man" was God's "masterpiece" & the ultimate glory He could give Himself by making us in His image.

[7:55] Surely, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six periods, then He settled Himself firmly on the Throne.

There is a reason for everything my brother

Answer 6

Was man the reason for creation? God created the universe.He created earth and all that live here.Then he created man in His image ,or their image, and he called them Adam.
In Genesis 1:25 let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind. verse 26; And God said "let US make man in OUR image after our likeness;
Genesis 5:2 Male and female created he THEM and blessed them; and called THEIR name Adam.
God created Angels ,who have their own habitat. Where is that place?somewhere in the Heavens.

"Young Ellie: Dad, do you think there's people on other planets?

Ted Arroway: I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space." - Carl Sagan's "Contact"

Clearly us thinking that we're all that important is a play on our egos. Yet another reason why the "loving god" is fictitious.

Answer 8

If the only thing outside of this atmosphere was nothingness, a void, that would kind of ruin the surprise... wouldn't it?

It's gorgeous out there... I would imagine it's there so that we can ponder it, admire the beauty and scope of it all. Besides that, even God needs a hobby, eh?

Answer 9

Man wasn't the reason for his Creation.

His Glory was.

And man and stars both exist to that effect...

Answer 10

None of Your Business.....!

(Isaiah 55:6-to-11) Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

(Isa 55:7) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

(Isa 55:8) For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

(Isa 55:9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

(Isa 55:10) For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

(Isa 55:11) So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
